My Window on the Chrysler Building
New York, NY - Catherine Penfold-Waxman - Thursday, October 20th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
I am really lucky. My daily grind in New York takes me to the 16th floor opposite the Chrysler building. Whenever I'm sick of smashing away at my keyboard, I can swivel around in my chair and look out my window at one of my favorite buildings. It's just so wonderful, like a 70's concept album.
I took these today (October 20th, 2005) in the autumn sunshine.
There are lots of pictures of the Chrysler Building from street level, so I think a view from third of the way up is a little unusual.
Fabulous. I love NY.

Wow, these are niice. Just when i thought i was beginning to tire of seeing photos of buildings, random penfold-waxman lady pops up and shares these gems. I hope you return and share more views with us.

Glad y'all liked them. It's such a dramatic angle. I almost got the belly of a plane on it's climb from JFK airport. But then I freaked out that it looked like it was going to crash into the Crysler, which is my nightmare scenario.
I can get a pretty interesting view of Grand Central Station from here. I'll try to snag that.
ian: citynoise wins the internet, yet again.

Visited your fantastic city in June - what a place! These photos are just awesome!
It is a beautiful building and seeing it from higher up is amazing! Bring on Grand Central!

Sheila, I got the shot from my office windowhere and went out one drunken night and got these. Glad you liked NYC. It's a hell of a place.

Goodbye, window on the Chrysler. I'm going back to a crappy office uptown, probably next to the mens bathroom and/or the person who grunts and screams while they work. Sigh.

oooh--sorry you are losing your wonderful view; I have certainly appreciated and enjoyed the images you've collected from this amazing vantage point. I suspect you'll find some fun things to share with us in your new digs as well.

A post-it note for the Chrysler building. I was so moved I wrote a novelty exclamation point with a heart for effect.
Annemarie Scotland: 2nd Jan 2006 - 23:35 GMT
Visited NYC March 2005 and I still gaze at my pics. So thank you for the new ones I can now look at. Can't wait to return to your fab city!
