Shinjuku after dark
Taken from the same location as this prior photo, today’s pic shows a few more buildings on a moonless night.

Today’s photo is of the location from which I took yesterday’s pic. After taking these photos we went in for a really good hamburger.
At one point in time, the Eiffel Tower in Paris was the tallest structure in the world. The Chrysler Building in Manhattan succeeded the Eiffel Tower, but only for a year. The Empire State Building then held the crown.
But today’s photo is more of New York’s Grand Central Station than it is of the Chrysler Building. Finding both of these structures in the same picture is not unusual, but seeing them as you see them here is. In order to get them nearly side-by-side, like this with only the Grand Hyatt in between them, I had to take three, ultra-wide lens captures and stitch them together.
Today’s photo was taken on my trip to Newport Beach, California back in April. I took it from the same location as this one about an hour and a half later.
After the lightning storm in New York we ate dinner in Brooklyn with plans to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge back into Manhattan. However, the rain started again so the rest of the family called it a day and went back to the place we were staying in Spanish Harlem. I parted with them near the Rockefeller Center. I wanted to go up to the Top of the Rock for a view of New York in the rain at night, but it was closed due to the continued threat of lightning. Instead, I took a walk to Times Square. At the beginning of that walk I captured this image of part of the Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall reflecting in the fountain across the street on the corner of 6th Avenue and 49th Street.
