Metropolitan Life Building
I took a photo of the Metropolitan Life Building the other day when I was in Madison Square Park. There was a time when it was the tallest building in the world. It looks so beautiful at night, though I don't have a night time photo to show you. According to Wikipedia it was modeled after the Campanile in Venice.

elle est tres belle cette tour, je me demande si on peut la visiter ?
Beautiful, stately building...I can imagine its beauty in a night time photo.
Cool dusk shot!
I like the way the top of the tower is lit like a beacon.
One of my favorites, a visual contrast to the later Deco and modern skyscrapers. I just read that the building to the left was originally intended as the base for a 100 story skyscraper, but it was cancelled by the 1929 stock market crash!
