The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York. It stood as the world's tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center's North Tower was completed in 1972. Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, the Empire State Building again became the tallest building in New York City and New York State.
The Empire State Building has been named by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The building and its street floor interior are designated landmarks of the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and confirmed by the New York City Board of Estimate. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1986. In 2007, it was ranked number one on the List of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA. The building is owned and managed by W&H Properties.

The Empire Hotel in Bath, Somerset, England was built in 1901 and has been designated as a Grade II listed building. It was designed by the Bath City Architect Major Charles Edward Davis for the hotelier Alfred Holland and built from Bath Stone. The building occupies a large L-shaped block. It is six storeys high plus the octagonal corner tower. During World War II it was used by the Admiralty as a postal sorting office and remained in their possession until the 1990s. In 1996 it was then refurbished and became apartments and a restaurant.

Empire Sandy began serving the Great Lakes as a tall ship in 1982 based in Toronto, Canada. The 200-foot (61 m) long topsail schooner offers sailings for the public, chartered tours, including weddings and other events, on Lake Ontario, Lake Erie and along the St. Lawrence Seaway. Licensed by Transport Canada to carry 275 passengers, she is Canada's largest topsail schooner. Visitors are usually welcome onboard during the day.
Empire Sandy is believed to be the last Empire ship built during WWII to be still sailing
. . . The view from Empire beach looking north on Lake Michigan with gale force winds today! Quite difficult to steady yourself in these winds with pelting rain and sand.
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
one of my new favorites for a bite to eat... no 1 empire buffet. it's a bit of a ride from my house, but they have a much better selection that the places around here.
my favorite things on the buffet are things i've never seen down here: mustard greens, honeyed chicken, black pepper chicken with mushrooms. they also sometimes have sweet coconut chicken and steamed red bean buns (my FAAAAAAAAAAAVORITE). i was bummed this day because they didn't have any. :-(
Back when Amtrak's Empire Service trains were still named, the Empire State Express waits at Rensselaer Station after an engine change (from F40PH to FL9) for the trip down the Hudson Line. This train originated at Niagara Falls, NY.

Three big C&NW C628's are easing down to the LS&I connection near Empire Junction on October 18, 1986. The Alco era on the C&NW is near its end as the 4 axles were already retired as are a few of the 628's. By late December 1986 these three also will be replaced by SD50's and SD60's. 6701, 6727, 6706 roll empties toward Empire Mine. This is a rescan of a shot I posted a year or more ago. I didn't like how it came on then and decide to mess with it a little before I just put it on a thumb drive and gave up on it.

. . . Empire City Beach is a great place to practice the "Turn Around" Rule of photography! Everyone is so enthralled with the view of Sleeping Bear dunes to the north, they forget to turn around and see Empire Bluffs, even closer and just as tall, to the south!
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

Went up the Rockefeller Building when I was in New York with friends. We randomly timed it perfectly for sundown. The view is epic. Better to go up the Rockefeller and actually see the Empire State Building I think. Plus there isn't loads of hassle from people trying to sell you tickets at the bottom.
