Chrysler Building x3


On my Something Sighted blog I posted the three people in NYC who caught my attention most on Saturday. In keeping with NYC and three, here are three different perspectives of the Chrysler building. You might also recognize Grand Central Station in the middle picture.
Vicki and I are constantly asked why would we leave Orange County California and live in Newtown Pennsylvania.
Part of the reason is we really like being able to wake up on a nice day and in two hours or less be in either New York City,Philadelphia,Washington D.C.,Baltimore,Atlantic City,the mountains,beaches etc. Plus all of the wonderful and historic sites in here in Bucks County and New Jersey.

We really enjoy seeing other parts of this country as well as other parts of the world.
It seems that I've developed a joie de vivre in my 40's. :-)

    It's a beautiful building. I remember going to Grand Central Station. It was awesome. Hard to take it all in. We had a wonderful lunch in there as well. Excellent photos :)

    When our family came from England and arrived in New York, even as a child, I remember how awesome to buildings were...and they still are. Terrific photos.

    Great shots, I'll surely place the Chrysler building as one of the seven wonders of this world. Your point about living in Newtown is absolutely reasonable and sound.

    Fantastic shots, James. I love the angles of 1 & 3.

    For your next move, you and Vicki should move to the Seattle area. Lots of different scenery within a couple of hours drive. :-)

    Great Views!
    I agree with you - it's nice to be able to change your views now and then. My husband and I move frequently for the same reasons - we like to learn about our new areas and see all of the sights and then move on to visit somewhere else! :)

    Such enormous buildings are typical of the USA, I think! Great photos! I also saw your other blog which is very interesting.

    Wonderful photos James. You said it exactly as I said it when people asked how we could leave "Disney World"? So much to choose from on any given day; country, mountains, ocean, metropolitan (DC, Balt & Wash DC), history both near and far.... I loved our time in FL, but I so missed the diversity that this area as to offer!

    This is my main blog.
    James, seeing your photos reminded me of my brief 3 years in NYC. I used to work at the Flat Iron building and then moved to 59th St, years ago. I managed not to get lost though, just remember the landmarks like this tall building!

    The Chrysler Building is my favorite building in NY. We've often said if we moved from here we'd go east -- somewhere where we could get to DC, NY quickly!

    These are absolutely beautiful photos, I love the different perspectives. As much as I love living on an island of the coast of Canada, I miss the culture and history of Canada's origin. I fully understand why you would move. Good on you and enjoy.
    Blessings and smiles

    I love the first photo. It is a striking angle that evokes power and strength and style. Also, thanks for your comments on my site about the solar eclipse photos. I am glad you enjoyed them. Also, if you like travel photos, we just put together a travel photos site at www.vivalavoyage.com. We have India photos posted and will put up new travel photos each Sunday. I will be back soon!

    Great pics from city life. As to the joy of living in the 40's, I prefer to think I'm always on the 'right' side of 40...
