Top of the Rock- Rockefeller Center

Tare Zameen Par?
This chandelier in the lobby caught my eye. Actually I was quite enamored by it.

Top of the Rock? All these pictures are from the 70th floor of Rockefeller Plaza (Also known as Top of the Rock), which is 850 feet or 260 m above ground.


One more view of the central park! The whole thing!

This building stood out for me- it was so traditional/old school (in a good sort of way) in midst of all the steel high rise buildings!



Top of the Chrysler building.

I found the architecture fascinating. All the swirls, on top of each other, reminded me of a beautiful cake (I think I must have been hungry). It must be fascinating to sit on the other side in the building and have a office.



Contemplating! Very cool attitude.


Another view of the chandelier- looks totally different – doesn’t it?


Please double click on the pictures if you would like to see bigger/sharper images.

Not for those with height fears, eh? Very cool shots. The chrysler building was once used as inspiration for a project runway dress. Can't remember the name of the guy who made it, but it was lovely!
