Manhattan Chrysler Building Still An Icon

If you'd like my photograph licensing fees, please contact me via email. Thanks, I'd like to hear from you. Copyrighted by Jim Austin. All rights reserved world wide.

For a year, until the Empire State Building was finished, the Chrysler was the world's tallest building in 1931. It has 77 stories. A series of gleaming, gradually diminishing arches clad in stainless chromium-nickel steel tops the building.

On top of those, there is a 185-ft stainless spire. Enormous stylized eagle heads, pineapples, and automobile-related designs decorate the building. Its lobby is an art deco extravaganza of marble, chrome, and fresco.

Jet's superimposed, is it not? To my knowledge, the Chrysler Building isn't in the landing path of any NYC airports... LaGuardia, maybe?

Great architecture, great shot too. I would have deleted the plane in this shot. It's too much a 911 image this way.

This amazing shot is awarded as Outstanding!

Awesome shot. The Chrysler building is the best skyscraper ever constructed, period. its the jewel of all skyscrapers. Nothing can beat the crown, the gargoyles, or the interior of such a skyscraper like the Chrysler building, its an icon, a masterpiece, and something New York, the United states, and the world can be proud of

Great shot and nice job on framing, processing etc. I have to admit seeing the plane like that gives a mixed feeling. A powerful image in any case, obviously.
