I took this shot of the Chrysler Building at dusk last week as I headed to an appointment on the Eastside of Manhattan..
If you want to participate in Sky Watch Friday, head over to Dot's Strolling through Georgia and sign up or just check out the other bloggers!
And if you would all keep good thoughts for all those NIU students and their families affected by yesterday's tragedy; a very good friend is a student counselor at NIU
Great photo, great sky watch.

ReplyDeleteWow, that's a good one!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo!
ReplyDeleteGood sky watch photo
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Friday
Wonderful photo. I have never seen a building like that. Once in my lifetime I will go to USA:)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone .. I've been looking at all of your photos and now I must get some work done .. thanks for all the kind words!
ReplyDeleteOh I so love the architecture of the Chrysler building and with it up against the sky like that it just looks stunning. My heart goes out to those around that horrible shooting in Illinois. My daughter went to school outside of Chicago for 3 semesters so that really affected me in a more personal way. Praying...
ReplyDeleteAstonishing how a building is so enhanced with that background…
ReplyDeleteGood-looking picture
Ohh..nice shot!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing a bit of the city with us.
ReplyDeleteMy grandson is at the USMMA on Long Island, at the site of the old Chrysler Estate. Chrysler has a real history in New York!
Thank you all for both your kind words about my photo AND for your good thoughts/prayers for those at NIU ..
ReplyDeleteMy favorite NYC building - well done beautiful composition. Love the framing.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. New York's many marvelous sign posts in the sky have claimed a place in my heart over the years. They capture the dreams of so many. God bless.
ReplyDeleteAnd indeed my prayers are with those poor NIU kids.
Thank you ..I love that building .. its so sleek, so shine-y .. so elegant it makes taking its photo easy!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! They just don't build buildings with style like that anymore...
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine works at NIU in the building next to the one where the shooting took place and was evacuated... So tragic!
Beautiful shot! I'm inspired to give Sky Watch Friday a try myself!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot the sky scrappers really set it off, we don't have any buildings that big here
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot, as always. This is something I never see, so I enjoy seeing your photos. Happy Sky Watch Friday!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great 'blog-find'- I'm so happy to have found you via Mother of this Lot! I am moving to NY in a few weeks so you will be my 'must-read' of the day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures...I'll have to go on a hunt for some of your sites!
And yes, my thoughts are with those affected by the school shootings too.
Nice shot of a famous building...
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the beautiful city you live in.
ReplyDeleteThank you all both for your compliments and for keeping those at NIU in your thoughts/prayers.
ReplyDeleteAnita... when my friend emailed, I was in shock .. its such a quiet campus .. such a tragedy
Stacey .. do sign up and post a photo or 3
bellamocha .. welcome to my town - where are you going to be living .. in Manhattan or another boro?
I love how the sky always makes such a gorgeous backdrop to those tall buildings, and I'm so happy you share it with us.
ReplyDeleteWill definitely keep the students and families at NIU in my thoughts and prayers.
Great to see Manhatten again. I have visited the Big Apple three times. And I wish to come back some day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice view when you look up into the sky.Great picture.
ReplyDeleteYour mention of the NIU tragedy was appropriate, timely and touching. I'll be back later.

ReplyDeletehow beautiful especially with the building's lights

ReplyDeleteThanks for identifying the building. It's always nice to get a little lesson...I live in PA and don't get to NY nearly enough. I feel like I just had a mini visit.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo!
ReplyDeleteWow! That blue sky at dusk? Lucky you!
ReplyDeletei LOVE this shot. i hate admitting that it is a familiar building that i didn't know was the chrysler building. i will hang my head in shame. wait. i probably knew but forgot. yes, i prefer being forgetful to stupid any day.
ReplyDeleteNever been to NYC - or the Chrysler building. Thanks for the great view ....
ReplyDeleteWell you all must come visit .. its such a beautiful city and its always being tinkered with .. buildings being torn down and rebuilt .. others that will always evoke memories of better times .. places 'landmarked' to preserve them for future generations .. why am I wasting this excellent prose in a reply .. it should be a blog and likely will be .. meanwhile DO come visit either here through my pix and prose or in person.. I would love to show you 'round!
ReplyDeleteI love that building so much. I love your photo of it. Your photos make the city enticing. My Sky Watch is here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, andree, that is so nice of you to say! I liked the photo you used .. its was very lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your sky watch shots and getting to see various "top views" of NYC. I hope one day to see them in person too!
ReplyDeleteCome visit .. bring comfy shoes and lots of pixels!
