We were standing at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in New York City this afternoon (30th June) when I “saw” the opportunity to photograph one of the city’s landmarks – through a set of street lights!
Yes, if you said it’s the world-famous Chrysler Building, you’re absolutely right. A classic example of Art Deco architecture, it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.
I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. This was shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F9.5, 1/500 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm.

Well framed. You certainly get around.

Really nice take, well spotted (I mean this view, as the building I imagine is hard to miss :-))
Thank you, Themis. Had just taken a couple of shots as I walked towards the street crossing, then this notion just occurred!

Thanks so much, Merrilyn. We were walking towards Grand Central Station (wow!) when this opportunity presented itself!
