That's cool. They almost look like flying saucers!

The building is sublime beauty.
It seems to melt into the reflection...

Carolyn Ford said...

It almost looks like the fish-eye effect the way the buildings seem to curve...and, I agree with T. Becque, there's flying saucers checking it all out.

Brilliant my friend :) I just love the look :)

TechnoBabe said...

No Way! Only one of the most famous spots on earth. Great look from down below.

Sistertex said...

...and there is James laying on the pavement, rolled up tight against the side of the building so he can get the entire building into the shot! LOL. The things we all do for a good shot. ;)

Excellent!

Joanne said...

Wonderful... I love it!

Luis Gomez said...

What a terrific shot. Nicely captured.

Pat said...

If you were lying on the sidewalk to take the picture, you're lucky you didn't get stepped on in NYC! LOL! Great shot - I love that it's in B/W. Great angle, too, even if you DID get stepped on to get the shot!

The Retired One said...

One HUGE reflection that forces one to look up...loving it!

Carole said...

Absolutely fabulous!

Stickup Artist said...

That is just so awesome. I miss those urban cityscapes. So full of possibilities, surprises around every corner. The excitement, the human industry buzzing and crackling everywhere. Yet one one looks up at these monoliths, so solid and still. Great shot James!

Beth Niquette said...

What an awesome reflection--it fills my eyes, which is the greatest compliment I can give.

awarewriter said...

This one has a real retro look about it James. Glad you chose B&W. Excellent shot.

Bonnie Bonsai said...

Ah ... another fantastic treat from James!

I used to bring my children to the city during their Christmas break each year. They loved the displays and the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. I have to share this link with them. Thanks!

Fantastic angle! I tried to do so but ended dividing the building in two: top and bottom! LOL!

Peter said...

Difficult to make a better reflection photo!

Thérèse said...

The picture says it all!
A dream place to be while on vacation of course!
