The Statue of Liberty.
I took the ferry to Liberty Island, and got this close-up
picture. It was raining hard the whole time I was there. |
|
An unusual view from the back of the Statue of Liberty. |
The Staten Island Ferry. |
|
Ground Zero. This picture was taken at the World Trade Center subway station. The area was surrounded
by this screen, but you can see some of the clean-up work going on. |
The cross at Ground Zero. Some steel beams had fallen in the shape of a cross, and became this
memorial of the September 11 attacks. |
|
The Empire State Building. |
The Empire State Building from the base. |
|
The Empire State Building from inside. I took an elevator to the observatory on the 86th floor,
and from there took another elevator to observatory on the 102nd (top) floor. |
View of Manhattan (including Central Park) from the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building. |
|
Another view of New York City from the 102nd floor. |
The Flatiron Building, seen from
the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building. |
|
The Manhattan financial district, as seen from the 102nd floor. The World Trade Center would have
been in the center of this picture. |
New York City often seemed to be a forest of buildings. |
|
The Chrylser Building, as seen from the
Empire State Building. I could see the Chrysler Building from my room at the
Hotel Pennsylvania. |
The elevator dial on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building. The 102nd floor was really very
small. There was just a narrow walkway going around the floor in a circle, maybe 30 feet in
circumference. There was barely room for two people to get past each other in the walkway. |
