One of New York's newest architectural icons, One Vanderbilt is a 93-story supertall skyscraper at 42nd St and Vanderbilt Ave.
Upon opening in April 2021, it was the 4th tallest building in NYC.
The observation deck, SUMMIT, opened in late October 2021. The three floors of mirrored surfaces have made it a a must-visit for Instragramers and aspiring fashion models.
The building offers views of the Chrysler Building, rooftops across midtown, but the star is the Empire State Building to the south.
This was at the summit over looking the valley. I have a habit of holding my breath when taking a picture, to keep the camera steady, with the altitude I was at I almost passed out for lack of oxygen. One day later it was even more golden, if you can imagine.
This was one of those shots where I wanted to jump up and down in excitement...Absolutely no enhancement...All Gods doing not mine!
(I did use a polarizer and turned it until I got the strongest color)

Bumps and Bags…
Lists….. and ticking things off…… becomes an addiction to many of us… If you are reading this blog then you may also have this affliction in context with mountains and hills!
Some are called Munro Baggers, some just baggers and some look down on this sub section with scorn and ridicule, why do you need to have not climbed a hill to head out etc etc
In some respects I think I fall into both categories (or is it a sliding scale!!?). It really just depends on what mood takes me…. I think the real addiction is just getting out and about and that certainly keeps me satisfied, but then adding in an unclimbed hill and adding to that “tick list” of climbed hills seems to add to the need to get out there!!
There are advantages to this though and perhaps some disadvantages too (there’s always a Yin to the Yang). My last adventure highlights one of the advantages… Craig Rainich in the NW highlands sits between the Fannich Range and the Fisherfield hills with An Teallach to the North. It’s a pretty dull looking hill with a relatively long approach. If I weren’t ticking off the Corbetts - would I have travelled three and a half hours in the car to get here then cycle for an hour to reach the bottom of the hill ?? Probably not… However, as is often the case with the Corbetts, the hill itself is a little rounded but my god the views from the top were well worth the effort! So this little bump of a mountain was put in the bag and another Corbett was ticked off the list…
Of course the fact that there were unbroken blue skies and crystal clear clarity helped, but doesn’t it always;)
The day started at the usual time (no need to get up super early as the days are long , plus the forecast suggested the winds to drop through the day!). A quick bowl of porridge washed down with some Kenco and I was ready for the drive. Past the numerous roadworks I was on the Kessock Bridge by the back of nine. The sun was shining down but Wyvis was cloudy on the northern horizon. It didn’t bother me though as I was headed west and the chances of this North Sea clag reaching the west coast were slight (well according to Judith at the weather centre). Up past Aultguish and then a left at the Braemore Junction. A few weeks earlier I had taken the same road, in the same glorious weather, the only difference was the peaks were white and I was headed for Teallach!
After three and a half hours I pulled up at a very busy parking bay. Looked like the Munro Baggers were hitting The Fannichs! Bike out, bag packed and I was off to bag my Corbett….. An hour later (and after a rather bumpy, gravelly cycle – not sure the bike helped too much on this one!) I as stashing my bike away at end of the loch relatively close to the Lochiveroan Bothy…
White horses skipped along The Loch and I was hoping Judith was going to be right in that the breeze was to diminish through the day! Otherwise it would be a hard fought cycle back!!
The hill looked like a gentle slope from here… According to my calculations I would only be ascending about 600m due to my starting height being near 200m. The going was good – very good in fact.. Although there were no paths, the recent dry spell meant that even the boggiest sections were bone dry!
I was soon on the minor top of Meall Dubh were the view opened up. The sky was blue and Sgurr Ban and Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair looked amazing-a grand time to be having a crack at The Fisherfield Six (or should that be Five now that a demotion has occurred ;))….
With a big smile on my face I made the short descent and re ascent to reach the Corbett’s summit….
An hour later, after soaking in the views and playing with the cameras, I decided to head back, thoroughly pleased with my experience (and also bagging a new Corbett!;)).
For a remote location, the use of the bike meant it only took about 90 minutes to get back to the car. If only the ca journey were the same time!!
So a fine outing in fine weather and another Corbett bagged – not doing too badly that’s four in last two weeks ;) Maybe a finer achievement than bagging four Munros? ( I’ll leave that can of worms for another blog I think….)
Another shot from the outing on Beinn-Y-Phott. This shot was taken just when the sun was dipping behind the horizon, a diffuse glow illuminated the rock pile and the frosted grass in the immediate foreground. I was facing northwest with the winter sun in a southwest direction behind me. That lovely orange blue sky with the hills and sea is what I liked about this shot. Pity is that the Sigma 10-20 has poor sharpness issues at the edges. I guess I need an upgrade soon.

The old Sears department store
The Summit Place Mall opened in 1963 originally under the name "Pontiac Mall". Hudson's and Montgomery Ward were original anchor stores. In 1971, a free-standing Sears store was built north of the mall. In the late 1980s, JCPenney and MainStreet (later Kohl's) were added as part of a wing built between Montgomery Ward and Sears. Massive shopping centers owned by the mall (Summit West and Summit North) were built around the mall in the 1980s and 1990s, A Service Merchandise store also used some space at the mall that Hudson's split-off.
The nearby Great Lakes Crossing outlet mall opened in 1998. Both Montgomery Ward and Service Merchandise closed at the brink of the 2000s. Throughout the 2000s many smaller stores left the mall. Also during that time Hudson's changed to Marshall Field's, then Macy's. Kohl's closed their store in March 2009, The mall itself was closed in September 2009. Following the mall's closure, Macy's and JCPenney both left in March 2010. Sears closed in December 2014. The 1,500,000 square foot mall building has been condemned so it is likely the mall will be demolished within the next year or two.

Summit Lake Park is a park located along Mount Evans Scenic Byway about 62 miles (100 km) west of Denver, Colorado. The park is 160 acres (0.65 km²) in size and contains both Arctic and alpine tundra. Land to the east of the lake is in a state of permafrost which helps to prevent drainage of the area. During the summer, the park is filled with wildflowers, some of which have not been found anywhere outside of the Arctic Circle. The park is named after Summit Lake, which sits at 13,001 feet (3,963 m) in altitude. The land was acquired by Denver in 1924 and incorporated into the Denver Mountain Parks system.
The Mount Evans Scenic Byway begins at the junction of Interstate 70 and State Highway 103 near Idaho Springs, Colorado and continues on State Highway 5 through the Mount Evans Wilderness Area where it ends near the summit of Mount Evans. The byway is 28 miles (45 km) in length and gains over 7,000 feet (2,100 m) of altitude. Achieving a final altitude of 14,130 feet (4,310 m), this is the highest paved road in North America.

During March and April 2023, a major remodelling of Carstairs Junction took place with some trains diverted (or providing a shuttle) over the G&SW route with all electric trains starting from or terminating at Carlisle. One such train is 1M84, TPE’s 1035 Carlisle - Manchester Airport formed by 397007. It seen topping Shap Summit on 10 March.
