Capture taken during our last years visit to NYC. Leaving the hotel at Canal street, my plan was to see ground Zero at early hours. I liked the empty Church street with all these parcel cars and at the end the Oculus building with some fogs passing up from the subway station around there...gearing up for Chicago end of month..Thanks, Udo.

Empire State Building
The Empire State Building is a 102-story skyscraper located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, on Fifth Avenue between West 33rd and 34th Streets. It has a roof height of 380 m, and with its antenna spire included, it stands a total of 443 m high. Tallest in the world from 1931 to 1970. Its name is derived from the nickname for New York, the Empire State. Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, the Empire State Building was again the tallest building in New York (although it was no longer the tallest in the US or the world), until One World Trade Center reached a greater height on April 30, 2012. he Empire State Building is currently the fourth-tallest completed skyscraper in the United States (after the One World Trade Center, the Willis Tower and Trump International Hotel and Tower, both in Chicago), and the 25th-tallest in the world (the tallest now is Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai). It is also the fifth-tallest freestanding structure in the Americas.

Wow! I found this in my photo stash. This photo was taken nine years ago in one my trips to the Big Apple. Shot using my first DSLR - a Sony Alpha-300.
Shot of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge behind it. Towards the center of the shot in red, white, blue is the Empire State Building
The Brooklyn Bridge.
My all time favorite bridge in the world ... countless times I've seen him on photographs and in movies ... Now we stand on his famous elevated pedestrian boardwalk face to face with one of his beautiful towers...What an amazing feeling !!!
