West Manhattan - Explored!
Looking north-west from the Empire State Building's observation deck across Manhattan towards Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea and the Hudson River just under 2 km away in the distance.
The roads stretching out from either side of the ESB are W 33rd and W 34th Streets.
The black tower in the centre of the image is One Penn Plaza. The skyscraper was designed by Kahn & Jacobs and completed in 1972. It reaches an altitude of 230m with 57 floors. The tower has three setbacks, at the 7th, 14th, and 55th floors.
The much-lower circular structure partially-hidden to its left (above) is, of course, Madison Square Garden, home of the New York Rangers and New York Knicks. Immediately beyond it is Pennsylvania Station, the busiest railway station in New York City.
A lot of new, tall structures have appeared since I took this photo 25 years ago!
