The building itself is a 70 story, Art Deco skyscraper that stands 259 meters tall. It is the 9th tallest building in NYC. It is also the home of the NBC studios where shows such as Saturday Night Live are filmed. The sculpture in the lower section of the plaza is Prometheus (1934) by Minnesotan, Paul Manship.
Rockefeller Center. Midtown Manhattan, NYC.
Just back from seeing the movie in the title and on the way back I remembered this fly I photographed while in Costa Rica that reminded me of the the original H R Giger drawings from back in the day of Alien. Now I've done a quick process maybe it doesn't but it's still weird looking thing!
Good movie though if you can get by the paper thin plot.
Glad to see flickr seems back to normal!

Comments: Eight carefully chosen traits for maximum aesthetic appeal on Prometheus, named for the mythological figure who stole fire from the gods for humankind to use. The missing 9th trait (illume shade) is present on mom as well as super-adorable PLUSH whiskers. Ruff is dad AND granddad. These special line-bred Snowshoe Reds are part of a longterm Nacht Project going back many generations and borrowing genes from Mira's and Orlando's catteries. What might be hiding: others in this line have shown purple rain eyes, glitter shade, and curious tail.

A twisting naked figure of Prometheus hangs near the centre of the panel against a mountainous background, his hands manacled to the rocks above. His mouth is open, screaming in pain, as he looks with a distressed, emotional expression towards Herakles, his liberator. Zeus had meted out a terrible punishment to Prometheus for giving fire to man: he was tied to the Caucasus mountains and had his liver pecked out daily by an eagle. Herakles has shot the eagle and is undoing the first mannacle from Prometheus' left hand. Herakles is naked except for a lionskin worn as combined cap and cloak, and his club lies below, across the lower right corner. At the lower left, the body of the dead eagle, shot by Herakles, is slumped over the rocks. A small mountain nymph, holding a throwing stick, appears among the rocks above the eagle. This is a highly effective hellenistic-style pictorial composition.
