Summer Fade - a photo on Flickriver

Summer Fade

            New York, 2013

If you ever find yourself in New York city and want to see some spectacular views reserve a ticket for the Rockefeller Center and try to get up to the roof about 90 minutes before the sun sets.

For one thing the view is jaw droppingly awesome. For another you are actually on the roof and not behind some window so you can get some great photos. The Top of the Rock is very small and gets very crowded but if you are willing to put in some time to get there early you should be able to get a spot right on the edge. They don't allow tripods (there really isn't any room) but at the edge there are some rather large limestone caps. Rest your camera right on top of these and you'll never have to worry about long exposures. The Empire State Building also has amazing views but obviously once you are there you can't see the ESB since your'e standing on top of it. But from the roof of the Rockefeller it sits prominently among the skyline.
