Empire State Building Viewed from the East Village

http://www.jamesmaherphotography.com/images/0000/0867/empire_state_building_from_east_village.jpg

This photo was taken from a balcony in the East Village looking towards midtown.  I love the different layers of building heights that quickly rise as you move towards the Empire State Building.  You can really see the diversity of types of buildings in New York, especially with older East Village apartments in the foreground contrasted with the larger office buildings.

There is also the intimate feeling of the foreground apartment building windows, that gives a more comforting feel that you don't usually get in cityscape photographs.
