80-story crane across the street! (pics inside)
« on: July 01, 2013, 02:53:21 PM »
Whilst it's easy to get jaded from the spectacular views I regularly get to see here in NYC, sometimes you look out the window and say, wth?!!

80-story crane is across the street from me right now; to put this into perspective, I am on the 50th floor. Just looking at this thing from up here is veritigo-inducing. These are the best shots I can get from this angle.





Put into context ...

I moan about my journey to work. At least I have only go up one floor. I can't imagine climbing that thing-well I can but I don't want to.

That's pretty awesome.  The tallest building near me is about 4 stories!  My uncle works at building skyscr@pers in New York though, you might be looking over at his site :)
