No bricks used here, Avenue of the Americas or Sixth Avenue for short. Upper end of Midtown, hate it there. It's been referred to as a canyon of skyscrapers, very accurate. The street itself is quite wide so there is open sky that one doesn't have in other skyscraper areas, and I don't think any of those buildings are half as tall as the Trade Towers were, but there is something about being up there that I find uncomfortable.

I like the extreme steep angle of this shot
ReplyDeleteThe contrast between this soulless tower and the human-scale, colorful brick structures below is striking. I understand why they build glass towers, but they're awful.
