The Empire State Building observatory has some breathtaking views. My only regret is that I tried to time it for just before sunset, I wanted to be on the observatory for long enough to take some great shots while still light out and some at sunset and after dark. Well, we were up there for quit a while, got the daylight shots and waited and waited… sunset never came.

Everyone was a bit tired and cold, and ready to come down. About 10 minutes after we ventured back into the building… was my sunset! Next time I’m timing it better, I’ll check the weather report and get the exact time for sunset. Yup, that’s what I’m going to do. The admission to the observatory is also included in the New York City Pass (as I said earlier… definitely worth it).
