You make such a good point about all the amazing buildings in NYC, when I lived there I rarely looked up, it was always about getting from one place to another quickly. Your photos are amazing! I have not been in the Chrysler building in years the details are amazing. Thanks for sharing, it was nice to go down memory lane for a few minutes.<br />Valerie<br />Everyday InspiredAdditionsstylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527179044598322609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-68723286533772354062013-05-23T10:54:47.577-04:002013-05-23T10:54:47.577-04:00Cynthia, you captured such wonderful images, I lov...Cynthia, you captured such wonderful images, I love the lighting in the first one and the mural of the Chrysler building and plane remind me of an old postage stamp.

Now the eagle symbol is too contemporary and sort of boring! Luckily you can be productive on your super long commute.

Glad you took the time to take these photos! <br /><br />I hear you on the long commute, mine used to be almost that long each way, by driving. Never again, that's a waste of hours. On a train, at least you can close your eyes, not behind a steering wheel though. Have a great weekend!
