Posted February 2, 200718 yr Okay, I promise this is the last barrage. Just some quick pics from our last day and the return trip to Cleveland. A view out the hotel window: One last look at the Chanin Building's detail: Walking up Madison we pass the Union Carbide and Bear Stearns buildings: Not sure which nice old building this was: The Sherry-Netherland, once again: Trump and Sherry-Netherland, once again: Cityspire and Carnegie Hall Tower: Random residential tower, I'm guessing: The Solow Building, with some of the priciest office rents in Manhattan: One last super-zoom on the Sherry-Netherland: Detail of the Plaza Hotel: A look up 5th Avenue: A look up the Solow Building: At the entrance to Central Park: Detail shot of the restoration work at the Plaza Hotel: Two different buildings, two different facade treatments: Goodbye, Grand Central: The Metlife Building in all its gruesomeness: The Helmsley Building: On the edge of Manhattan: En route to LaGuardia: On the tarmac: Ooo, lots of jail cells down there: Sorry about the quality on these. It's not easy using your zoom lense to look out the window, especially when the window in question is across the aisle: The South Bronx, I think: Nice river views for those highrises: Looking up the Hudson River: Back in Cleveland, they got about 4 to 6 inches of snow. Woohoo. Thanks everyone, hope you enjoyed! :) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 2, 200718 yr Great threads Mayday as usual. You took a picture across the aisle of a plane with your zoom? You're crazy, But I probable would have done the same thing. :-D Did you get any odd stares?
February 2, 200718 yr ^No, fortunately the passenger was an older gentleman who was fast asleep. My boyfriend gave me a little eyeroll, but I think he finds my geekiness endearing - most of the time ;-) clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 2, 200718 yr Great series! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 3, 200718 yr Agreed. Great series. It took me a minute to realize what the Cleveland scene was. But I see your plane came into Cleveland from the northeast. There's Rocky River Drive, Kamm's Plaza (upper right) and the Rocky River valley. I spend too much time looking at maps, so I always pass the time trying to figure out what I'm over while flying. Helps pass the time. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
February 4, 200718 yr WOW...what a scene!!! If I lived in NYC and had to commute along this route..I would definately be crashing on this drive on a semi-regular basis. :-o
February 5, 200718 yr Okay, I promise this is the last barrage. Just some quick pics from our last day and the return trip to Cleveland. Random residential tower, I'm guessing: the 58 street side of my office looks at this condo. It's got to be the Ugliest building in New York and the people who live there...aren't much to look at either! There appears to be lots of vacancies though.
February 5, 200718 yr that Hudson Valley picture is beautiful... what a great area of the country... love the snow-covered Cleve shot too!
February 5, 200718 yr Thanks Mayday. It was a lovely NYC trip without leaving the warmth and comfort of my living room. I love when the flight comes into Cleve. that way, and trying to recognize everything.
