yep, dead center, that short, squat spired building is actually the grand daddy of the world's tallest buildings!
see if you can count how many stories are visible...if i'm not mistaken, it's 110 stories to the top of the building when you are there....i know if you stand on the sidewalk under it and look straight up, a) you will fall down, dizzy, to the ground and b) you will see the building actually swaying in the breeze...yes, that is true.....and yes.... it will keep me from working in that building again if i could help it.
this is from the base of mount morris, the highest point on fifth avenue....there's a tree or is that building blocking half of the building i know, but still, you can only see 1/2 of the building at best....that's 70 blocks from where this was snapped....completely walkable....and a few blocks down from here (on the right), is the northern edge of my lawn (central park). thank goodness i don't have to mow it!
