Woolworth Building

That's it in the near foreground, with the Empire State Building in the far background. The Village is in there somewhere!

    I didn't think they called anything "Woolworth" anymore. Shows how much I know!

    Terrific photo...you can sense the city winding down as the lights come on.

    I love the Woolworth building and I think it is much under rated. I suppose everyone thinks of ESB and Chrysler buildings when they think of NYC.

    The cathedral of commerce, I think, no? I love that building. It's like lace. But it is so hard to capture it. You found the right trick.
    Very atmospheric. I like.

    Poor Woolworth Bldg was the tallest in the city til the Empire State Bldg overshadowed it

    So pretty it makes me want to live there. I'm so glad that I do!

    A friend of mine once described the lights on the buildings, when the sunlight is waning, as looking like jewels. I completely agree. Beautiful, Ken.

    Ya gotta sneak in past the lobby sign that says "No tourists allowed past this point". The lobby is like from another planet. Wow

    A nice open shot. Shows a broader view of NYC. I still like your more intimate views though Ken. - Dave
