VERTIGO Warning - Looking up in NYC
For those who suffer from vertigo you may not want to view this post as they are all looking up shots taken when I worked in NYC, I chose the first photo as I thought it may be the one that affects people the least with the trees breaking up the skyline looking up.
but for those who do not suffer from Vertigo feel free to continue reading this post and scrolling down and seeing the other photos.
As I have said probably far to many times in previous post I am a country boy at heart, and I was asked to come to the HQ a few times which I declined each time till the last time when it was made clear it was a question of how soon could I come and work in HQ and not a matter of if, so I agreed on the condition it would only be for one year.
As it happened the year became two then three and I ended up working in NYC for close to 20 years up until I retired in 2020.
Now I wont say I grew to love NYC but I did enjoy early morning walks around the city and seeing all the sights, parks, art, buildings etc, but I never go over my dislike of crowds and tried to avoid walking around or going to places with lots of crowds, other than Grand Central Train Terminal which I had to pass through on my commute in and out of the city.
But I have waffled on enough lets get to the photos, one thing I often doing when walking around the city I stopped and would look up at all the high rise buildings.
this first shot is just across the road from one of the entrances to Grand Central.
