The shot was taken from the Empire State Building in New York City
The Empire State Building derives its name from a nickname for New York state. While the precise origin of the nickname “Empire State” is unknown, one of its oldest documented sources is a letter written by George Washington in 1785 in which he expresses admiration for New York’s strength during the American Revolution and deems the state “the Seat of the Empire.”
El edificio Empire State (en inglés: Empire State Building) es un rascacielos situado en la intersección de la Quinta Avenida y West 34th Street, en la ciudad de Nueva York, Estados Unidos. Su nombre deriva del apodo del Estado de Nueva York. Fue el edificio más alto del mundo durante más de cuarenta años, desde su finalización en 1931 hasta 1972, año en que se completó la construcción de la torre norte del World Trade Center. Tras la destrucción del World Trade Center en 2001, el edificio Empire State se convirtió nuevamente en el edificio más alto de la ciudad de Nueva York y el estado de Nueva York.
El edificio Empire State ha sido nombrado por la Sociedad Americana de Ingenieros Civiles como una de las Siete Maravillas del mundo moderno. El edificio y su interior son designados monumentos de la Comisión para la Preservación de Monumentos Históricos de Nueva York, y confirmado por la Junta de Estimación de la Ciudad de Nueva York. Fue designado como un monumento Histórico Nacional en 1986. En 2007, ocupó el número uno en la lista de las edificaciones favoritas americanas. El edificio es propiedad y está gestionado por W & H Properties.

Empire Diner in Chelsea. We miss that this Art Deco diner no longer has the miniature stainless steel Empire State Building replica on its roof (which was removed in 2009) as seen in this photo which appears in our book "New York Nights". @empire_diner

Hope all my American contacts had a lovely holiday...
New York City lights and reflections with the Empire State building viewed at night under the deck of the George Washington Bridge. I know I posted a similar image before, but when i was working on this variation, I looked it up on the map and found out that the Empire State building is actually around 10 miles from this viewpoint! I've never seen it up close, but it must be quite a building :)

I met up with my best bud James who has lived in New York since our college days. He took me on a brisk walking tour of the streets by night including this pass of the Empire State Building complete with a rising full moon behind. This was shot from the sidewalk, so we had dodge a bit of foot traffic for a clean shot.
Lens is the FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited on the K3II. 3 bracketed exposures manually blended with layer masks to compress dynamic range.
Thanks for looking!

"...Lecce’s Roman Amphitheatre. An enormous circular structure that seated thousands of patrons. Excavated in 1938, during construction of an Italian bank - the theatre takes up nearly half of the piazza, while the other half remains buried under surrounding coffee shops and boutiques. In its heyday, Lecce’s Amphitheatre was the most important Roman monument of the city. Built under Hadrian's empire, the amphitheatre dates back to the 2nd century when Lecce thrived under its Roman name of “Lupiae”..."
