Midtown East Winter Nightscape

On this very clear December night, the iconic Art Deco spire of the Chrysler Building dominates
New York City's Midtown East skyline as seen from the 1,200 foot high vantage point of Summit One Vanderbilt.

Beyond this architectural treasure can be seen the United Nations Secretariat and, across the
East River, in Long Island City, the bold neon of the Pepsi-Cola sign, casting its reflection in the water.

Speaking of neon, the red ‘T” to the right of the Chrysler’s spire spells out Hotel Tudor.
And just to its left, one can see the Tudor City Place overpass above E 42nd Street.

And, speaking of red, the red bands along 42nd St signify bus lanes.

    fantastic perspective and night light. The city produces interesting nad dramatic patterns at night.

      Thank you, David. It certainly does, especially when one is fortunate enough to have such a clear night with almost unlimited visibility.
      Wishing you health, happiness, and abundant photo opportunities in the New Year,
      Steve

      Thanks - Happy you liked. I was so fortunate that my first visit to Summit was on one of those perfectly clear winter nights with views that go forever...
      All good wishes for the New Year,

      Hello Susanne,
      Thank you so much!
      I was indeed lucky in having such a clear night for my first visit to Summit One Vanderbilt. The observation experience is like none other.
      I hope to return earlier in the day so as to be able to see Manhattan bathed in the golds of sunset and watch the transition into Blaue Stunde, as the lights come on in the skyline - especially those in the Chrysler Building's spire!
      I hope you are having a lovely Holiday Season. Weather forecasters here are hinting at the possibility of a white Christmas, with it all starting on Christmas Eve. How beautiful that would be!
      Please stay in touch and let me know how you are doing.
      Best wishes,
      Steve

      Hello Hans-Gerd and thank you so much! It was great to hear from you!
      Yes, it was from 2021. You would certainly enjoy the views from Summit. Perhaps, next time we can do it together!
      I was hoping to return this year, but with crappy timing, I'm having to deal with an upper-respiratory infection. Anyhow, I will write at greater length as I begin to feel better, hopefully before too long. I look forward to catching up on our lives the past year since we got together last.
      Meantime, here's wishing you and your family a lovely Christmas season and a wonderful New Year, with good health and adventures with cameras and lenses!
      - Steve
