The corners of the 61st floor of the West 42nd St Chrysler Building are graced with eagles, replicas of the 1929 Chrysler hood ornaments.
The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976

Inspired by the works of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein this image was taken at the New York Central Library in a display about food.

The tallest building in the distance is the new One World Trade Center building, which is still under construction

Stradun or Placa is a fairly wide street whose smooth cobbled surface is walked over by thousands of tourists throughout the year.

The Dubrovnik Stradun is the central street of the city of Dubrovnik and in itself a great tourist attraction.

Panoramic view of Dubrovnik, Croatia.

Dubrovnik on the Croatian Dalmatian Coast is famed for its high city walls and photogenic red roof landscape.

The building on the rock is Fort Lovrijenac (St. Lawrence Fortress), which dates back to the 16th century. The fortress is now also used as a theatre and stages plays such as Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Showplace of the Nation

The names “Radio City” and “Radio City Music Hall” derive from one of the complex’s first tenants, the Radio Corporation of America. Radio City Music Hall was a project of Rockefeller; Samuel Roxy Rothafel, who previously opened the Roxy Theatre in 1927; and RCA chairman David Sarnoff. RCA had developed numerous studios for NBC at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, just to the south of the Music Hall, and the radio-TV complex that lent the Music Hall its name is still known as the NBC Radio City Studios.
The Music Hall Christmas show, a New York Christmas tradition since 1933, has been revived as an all live spectacular show featuring the women’s precision dance team known as The Rockettes and is performed every year during the holidays.

Construction began on January 3, 1870. The Brooklyn Bridge was completed thirteen years later and was opened for use on May 24, 1883. On that first day, a total of 1,800 vehicles and 150,300 people crossed what was then the only land passage between Manhattan and Long Island. The bridge’s main span over the East River is 1,595 feet 6 inches (486.3 m). The bridge cost $15.5 million to build and approximately 27 people died during its construction.
We loved the early morning walk across from Brooklyn to Manhattan as the sun was shining on a gorgeous December Morning. The inspirational stories of human endeavor and loss of life in building this magnificent structure are something else. As you walk across, to your left the Statue of Liberty, the gateway to America, to your right, The Empire State Building, a 1930s construction that is now the tallest building in New York. Also to the right the Chrysler Building, same period as the Empire State and probably the most ornate skyscrapper in the city. As you near Manahattan the financial district looms up on the left bank and memories of the Twin Towers halt you in your tracks as you gaze in wonder at the space they have left.

Opened in 1932, the largest theater in the U.S. has an opulent, Art Deco interior. Once a movie palace, it now hosts musical performances and special events. The annual Christmas show starring the Rockettes, 36 long-legged dancers, is a New York tradition.
