Empire State Building, Billows and Balloons





Some good cloud watching lately.



Evening light turns the Empire State Building silver.
But what is this alien building rising alongside it? Hm....





Clouds billow next to the  evil crane.



And balloons pretend to be clouds.

  1. The clouds have definitely been delicious this year in DC, too.

    Love the billow. (Actually I love that word.)

    And the crane does seem evil ... wonder why?

  3. Wow, what is that building? Looks like it's going to obscure the view of the Empire State a bit from someone's vantage...

  8. Clouds are works of art in themselves - love these billowy ones and also the balloons pretending to be clouds - whatever their colour.

  10. Something about balloons that is cheery and joyful. Clouds all have a personality of their own. I love the contrast of rolling white against the bright blue. Really enjoyed your photos!

  11. Your first cloud pic looks like a giant jelly fish. And the last is most definitley an N.C. Wyeth sky.

    Those ballons looks luscious!

  13. Great cloud pics and always love to see that statuesque building. What is that being built near the Empire? Huge! The balloons are a fabulous contrast..

  16. Supposedly that ugly building is a new luxury high rise apartment. I visited someone's beautiful apartment that overlooks Union Square with unobstructed views of all of Midtown, and that building has obscured the Empire State Building view of half of the building. Can you imagine buying an apt with a million dollar view (literally) only to have it destroyed??? Stinks.
