Description

I visited New York City the other week and could not resist getting on Top of the Rock for one of the best NYC skyline photography location that the Big Apple has to offer. The photograph shows uptown Mangattan, the Citicorp Center and the Queensborro Bridge.
From Wikipedia: The Citigroup Center (formerly Citicorp Center and now known as 601 Lexington Avenue) is one of the ten tallest skyscrapers in New York City, United States, located at 53rd Street between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue in midtown Manhattan. The 59-floor, 915-foot (279-m) building contains 1.3 million square feet (120,000 m�) of office space, and is one of the most distinctive and imposing in New York's skyline, thanks to a 45� angled top and a unique stilt-style base. It was designed by architect Hugh Stubbins and structural engineer William LeMessurier for Citibank, and was completed in 1977. The building is currently owned by Boston Properties, and in 2009, was renamed 601 Lexington Avenue.
