NYC tallest buildings - 30 Hudson Yards

Vertigo Warning - before I start this is another post where people who suffer from vertigo may want to skip as it has some looking up shots

This is my fifth post in a series of posts about the tallest buildings in NYC,

The first post in this series was Tower One World Trade Center
The second post was Central park Tower

The Third Post was 11 W 57th Street

The Fourth in the series was One Vanderbilt

The Fifth in the series was 432 Park Ave
And this post is 30 Hudson Yards

Vertigo Warning - before I start this is another post where people who suffer from vertigo may want to skip as it has some looking up shots later on in the post

30 Hudson Yards peaks out at 1268 Feet, i is a super-tall mixed-use building in the West Side area of Manhattan. Located near Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, and the Penn Station area, the building is part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project, which is the largest private real estate development in the United States by area.
It was the third tallest building in the City when opened.

In these first two shots, you may note the triangular deck coming out of the building near the top, this is a triangular observation deck jutting out from the 101st floor. This observation deck, at 1,100 feet, will be the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere. (The Empire State Building's 102nd-floor observation deck, at 1,224 feet, is enclosed.) The view will offer new skyline views to the south and east of Manhattan, the surrounding boroughs, and New Jersey.

Here is a shot of it from another angle

The Hudson Yards project has really transformed this area, it used to have a bit of a bad reputation but with this building and others going up there it has transitioned into quite an upscale area
I hope the first three shots were not vertigo-inducing but these next two maybe

Wow, that is pretty impressive. I don't think I would want to go out on that observation deck though. It seems like the winds would be incredibly high up there. I like the gentle curve of the building as the floor progress. Nice shots!

I love the last photo and the reflections of the clouds in the building. It is a real beautiful building. This observation deck would be an interesting place to take photos, because it's open. I hope that no !DERANGED people will climb over the railing ;)

I wanted to ask, what these things on top of the buildings are, but a closer look told me, that it might be some crane/lift thing to hold the gondola of the window cleaners

Of the new buildings it is one of my favorites and yes thats a crane for the workers and window cleaners, must be a weird feeling being in one of those at that height, maybe one would need to be !DERANGED to go on them

I like such glass buildings, which reflect everything around. It must also look cool at sunrise or sunset.
No !BEER in the world could make me !DERANGED enough to step onto such a thing 😉

MY timing was bad when I did it, my boss happened to do a rare visit to our building and looked out the window and spotted me on the platform LOL, but it was fine I am sure he thought i was !DERANGED

Yeah that is a cool thing about this token, and !BEER is also cool for those of us who do not drink real beer

We have a saying "gleich und gleich gesellt sich gern" and have found this English version: birds of a feather flock together
That saying might be true in regard of people who had too many !BEER, but in regard of !DERANGED people I mean it depends on the kind of derangement in my opinion ... so, what was your boss like? 😉 lol

that is quite a true saying as for my old Boss, like me he was the kind of person people either love or hate, he liked ignoring all the BS and rules and just getting the job done wherever possible I think thats why we got on well, I think your right, however, there are so many different types of !DERANGED and !BEER for that matter some good and some bad LOL

Good morning my friend have a super Sunday

Good !DERANGED - bad !BEER or vice versa ... I hope you have a great Sunday too, JJ 🙂

I have been hiking in a forest and gorge with waterfalls nearby, because the gorge I wanted to visit would have been too dangerous because of the much rain we had in the past days.
My path was very wet, muddy and slippery, but the hike was great, and I will certainly do it again in Spring, when everything is green again 🙂

I just got my new Lenses :) so I may be a little!DERANGED at the moment, its grey and cool but I will have to get out for a walk to test them out after lunch :)

Glad you got a good hike in, with all the mud you may need a !BEER to help you recover

No, you're not !DERANGED - I would go too and don't care about the weather neither. I'm looking forward to hear what think about the lenses and to the photos :)

OK, I'll see them tomorrow morning and I'm sure they are good 🙂

I'll go later to work tomorrow and will come home late in the evening. So, I'll have to prepare a post and might not be online before Tuesday.
And now I'm too tired to find a !DERANGED sentence ;)

Just got back from a second walk, and took more shots with it, the light was better but I will get to those some other time need to catch up on here

Congrats on the top spot in the league those numbers were showing you were !DERANGED with commenting this past week, and you must need a !BEER

Sounds like a tough day ahead ( well ahead in the morning) LOL, I hope ts goes fine

I hope, the weather will be fine in the afternoon and at sunrise ;)
Before I go for the hike I will go to work until at about 2pm.

I think, if I didn't reply to some !DERANGED peoples comments I would not be the number one, but thank you very much JJ 🙂
But I didn't think, that the numbers would be that high though - you are right, I am in need of a !BEER 😉

I have just seen your post with the photos using the new lenses - they look great and I'm looking forward to the next photos of sunrises on the beach to be able to really compare ;)

Lol looking at the forecast fit the coming week I suspect it may be a few months before I am out catching a sunrise I think Winter plans on visiting us early sadly I am not !DERANGED enough to head to the beach for sunrise when the temp is around freezing point with it without !BEER
But let’s see what I can do with them today in the city

I have to make quick replies, because I am leaving for my hike in a few minutes ;)
You are right, not going to the beach when it's freezing cold, but I am curious on the photos you take in the city 🙂

No time for whole sentences, sorry ;) lol

Hi JJ 🙂
I have come back earlier, because there was no chance for a sunset, it was a cool hike though 🙂
The sunset should have happened somewhere left behind the cross on the peak of the mountain ;)

LOL it seems the winter is coming early this year - here too. But then christmas might be green again just as in the last years. I think, last time we had white christmas was more than 10 years ago, but before we always had some snow.

Yes, the green christmas is certainly our own fault, but every year we hope for white days. It was so wonderful walking in the snow in the city with the kids at christmas :)
But now we have these !DERANGED gray, wet and dirty christmas days - somethings really missing.

I grew up where Christmas was never white in the middle of summer and I dreamed of a white Christmas
Now with age and perhaps being !DERANGED I don’t dream of it lol

In a city a beautiful layer of white snow turns grey and ghastly so quick

Oh, it was so beautiful in white - it is not the same anymore - so !DERANGED gray instead of white like !BEER foam ;)

In the city I hate snow, because people are driving so stupid with their cars and getting parking space is very hard, and the snow looks nice and white only for a short time, as you say.

I wonder if the designer was a member of the 101st Airborne Rangers and that is why they chose the 101st floor instead of the 103rd floor so there could be no doubt of being the highest "outdoor observation deck"?

Cool shots once again, I think I liked the last one the most, kind of reminiscent of the Famous California Redwoods Circle Picture of looking up from the ground to the canopy.

I did wonder why they picked that floor and that could be a reason I guess, but even if they built it on the 103rd floor no doubt one day there will be a higher one

yep, the need to one-up man-ship the competition. A few non military people might wonder, but I would think that there is a significance of the 101st floor, whether it is as I guess or some other reason. Still a nice view no doubt from that floor, and open to the wind and mother nature, It would be a cool place to visit.

Yes indeed I am sure there was some reason for it on that floor, hopefully one day I will be able to share photos from up there
