The Empire State Building - USA part 2

On a previous visit to New York, I was only in the city for about 4 hours and therefore only stood at the bottom of the Empire State Building and promised myself that on my next visit I would go to the top! 

It had been such a bright clear day that I knew that I should go now to see the sunset from the top - there were no queues (which I had previously been warned about) and it was extremely windy up there, but the sunset and the views did not disappoint as the lights came on...

Sunset over New York City
The sun appears to have an extra halo!

Life goes on down below

Towards Madison Square Garden and Macys

Looking towards the Chrysler Building starting to light up

The sun has almost gone

Looking North west - somewhere below is Times Square!

Then I walked across to Macys, but I was too, too tired to go any further than the entrance...

Thank you for looking at my blog - not a quilt related entry, but I am very proud of some of my photographs they almost look good enough for postcards! It was certainly one of the high points of my holiday.

There's more to come - have a good stitching day!
