The Chrysler Building: Standing at 1,047 feet, it was the world's tallest building for 11 months before it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. After the destruction of the World Trade Center, it was again the second-tallest building in New York City until December 2007, when the spire was raised on the 1,200 foot Bank of America Tower, pushing the Chrysler Building into third position. In addition, The New York Times Building, which opened in 2007, is exactly level with the Chrysler Building in height. Both buildings were then pushed into 4th position, when the under construction, One World Trade Center, surpassed their height. -wikipedia-

Epic storm.. I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time doing my 1st long time lapse (1862 photos total) and the lightning was unbelievable.. Check out this video (its just over a minute long)
In 2000, the Port Authority installed 760 metal halide light fixtures that are used to illuminate the interior of the steel towers on major holidays.
I like the new flickr format a lot better.. I think I might come back to posting daily on flickr instead of facebook...

Last night, One World Trade Center stood at full height for the very 1st time.. The last piece of the spire was attached earlier in the day making this the tallest building in the USA & western hemisphere (1776 ft). 2 Interesting facts: the spire weighs 758 tons, & 1WTC ranks as the 5th most expensive building in the world!

There are approximately 42 water towers in the picture..
"New York City’s skyline is dotted with wooden water towers that are easy to mistake for vanishing relics of the bygone eras of seltzer bottles and street gas lamps.
But what many New Yorkers don’t realize is the towers are hardly antiques — in fact, most drink and bathe from the water stored in them every day.
Most buildings in the city taller than six stories need some sort of water tower and pumping system to provide water pressure to tenants.
So why do people think wood water towers are relics of the past?
Because they look as though they are.
While many are more than 30 years old, even new ones look old because they are made of wood that isn’t painted or chemically treated (so as not to taint drinking water).
Though the technology has become more efficient, the concept of gravity delivering water from a wood tank hasn’t changed in decades."
