Empire State Building

The Empire State Building

A landmark of New York City.

The construction of this building began on March 17 1929 and was completed on the 11th of April in 1931 and for a while it stood to be the tallest skyscraper for many years, 42 years to be exact….where King Kong fell to his death.

If you would like to know more I have this link.

This famous structure is a tourist attraction that most visitor visiting this buzzing city perhaps has come or plans to visit to see. The main attraction seems to be the view from the top. My opinion is that you get a better view of the city from the Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan.

Great shot. I’d have to agree with the guidebook I read that noted that as well as re shorter queues the great advantage of going to the top of the Rockerfeller Centre instead is that you get views of The Empire State Building 🙂

I love that you have put your signature style to this icon. I love the King Kong film and broke my heart at the point where he died. Thank you for sharing this dramatic image. The image has so much depth to it which balances the sky scraping heights of this legend beautifully.
