View of the Empire State Building from Wolcott Hotel

On a rainy day,
Looking up to the sky from the window at Wolcott Hotel in the morning, I imagined a musical title 'Singing in the Rain.'

I checked it on the web; it was Hollywood, not New York City.

My image of the musical was definitly N.Y.C.

It's not bad walking in the rain in New York City.

Regardless of the weather, the building was iluminated everyday with different color, green, blue, red, or their mixture at night.

It was another fun to see the iluminated building at night.

People on the Observation Deck of the Empire State Building

We can see 360-degree panorama view from the 86th Floor Observation Deck of the Empire State Building.

It is sometimes more interesting to see people there than to see wide view of the Manhattan island.

You can see Central Park, The Hudson River and East River, The Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, The Statue of Liberty from the deck.

Night View from The Top of The Empire State Building

Today is the last day of year 2017.

Looking back to this year, it reminds me of lots of things that happened to me and things that I had done by myself.

A business project that I have been doing with my colleagues over three years is gradually bearing fruits this year. It will be completed next year 2018. I feel very happy about it.

For our family holidays, my wife and I went to overseas trips twice, U.A.E. and U.S.A. We were able to spend wonderful days and had unforgettable precious experiences.

Finally, I was able to celebrate my mother's 91st birthday and attend 13th anniversary of my late farther's memorial day in my home town Shimane prefecture. Those are also memorable great events to me.

Anyway,  thanks for reading this blog. I wish all visitors to my blog that the year of 2018 be a very very happy and wonderful one.

Empire State Building

The Empire State Building is illuminated by the setting sun.

I think it can be said that no other building is so beautiful as the Empire State Building in the United States.

It can be seen from every direction in Manhattan. Namely, we can see every direction in the city from the observation decks on the 86th floor.

On the day we went atop, it was rather cold day. So, I caught a cold then I spent hard days and nights for two to three days there.

We Stay at Wolcott Hotel

We stayed at a Hotel just 200 meters from Empire State Building located in the Midtown New York City. 

The picture above was taken through the window of the room we stayed.

Since the hotel had been built more than 100 years ago, the appearance of the chocolate-colored building told us years of unwritten story and history, though the inside the hotel was quite neat and clean.

The scene from the window perfectly overlapped my image of N.Y.C. buildings.
