They Call it the Golden Hour

Uploaded: November 17, 2013

Description


-----
For some reason...
-----
This was the Empire State Building just as the sun was beginning its descent. This was taken walking down 33rd Street, after leaving the Photo Plus Expo in the Javits Center (at 11th and 34th).
-----
A LOAD of ongoing major construction in this neighborhood.

Outstanding capture Michelle, as many times that I've seen this famous landmark I have never seen in lit up like this and the dark clouds in the background just accents the beauty of the golden glow. A definite favorite in my books. #10901577
