Wonderful capture, I love the soft yellow patches with the cool blue of the metal. Lisa Marie

Great architectural treatment of this topic

thanks Brent! and Nico - if they had the Chrysler building in South Africa I'm sure you would do it proud, but thanks for the encouragement. Penny Street

Very nicely done Penny and neat to have a chance to see a different view of the Chrysler building than we typically see. I love art deco stuff. ~Brent

Fabulous, Penny. As mentioned often before, you have an exceptional gift to see and capture things others (like yours truly) would never have been able to do. Compliments! Regards Nico

I really think so, dt, as modern architecture is truly amazing. Art deco had a real punch though. Thanks. Penny STreet

Tell your toe, thanks, Penny. It was worth the trip for this beautiful image. I wonder if people will be looking back at today's architecture in the same way as they look back at architecture from this era? ~dtallakson

My broken toe and I walked all the way over there just for you all.... ha ha ha. (took a cab back). Penny Street

Very nice and also interesting. Very "Gotham City", almost castle like. I've never seen details of that building before, although it's enjoys world fame as a whole. -k2

Penny, you always see fascinating images everywhere, don't you? I like this... wonderfully 'metal', too. ~Lydia

I just wish you could tour more of the building! Nice capture. -Ed Hahn

thanks, yeah, and I agree about the building. I've tried and tried to shoot it and/or the building next door but never really came up with anything. I'm glad you like this. It seemed to fit the challenge. Penny Street

I think of the Chrysler building as boring and ordinary at ground level, but this is fantastic. I obviously never looked at the doors. Great look, Penny.
