'Timeless Heights'

Alternative angle of NYC's Art Deco icon majestically piercing the sky.

This black and white photograph captures a striking upward-looking perspective of the Empire State Building, emphasising its iconic Art Deco architecture and immense height. The Empire State Building, a renowned New York City skyscraper, dominates the left side of the frame, rising vertically towards the sky. The building's facade clearly displays the characteristic verticality and setbacks of the Art Deco style, creating a sense of soaring elegance. The Indiana limestone cladding, known for its "blonde colour," is evident, though presented in monochrome, highlighting the texture and detail rather than colour. The photograph is taken from a low angle, enhancing the grandeur and scale of the skyscraper. The sharp vertical lines and receding angles draw the eye upwards, conveying a sense of immense stature. The numerous windows are arranged in a structured, repetitive pattern along the vertical bays, a defining feature emphasising the building's height and streamlined design. On the right side, a narrower, less ornate building with a different window pattern stands in contrast, subtly highlighting the architectural distinctiveness of the Empire State Building. The black and white treatment gives the image a timeless, classic feel, reminiscent of architectural photography from the era of the building's construction.

Does anyone remember songbird/nightingale? It was a kind of crossover between mozilla browser and media player. It seems to have died.
Is there anything comparable today?

Check out the album of my friends from the mighty Orbinaut. They dropped this after 5 years of keeping us waiting. Needless to say: I am excited!

Want to organize house/basement size parties, sell tickets through the page & offer a physical version on something silly of the evening afterwards. I'd like to find a way to make mini networks to encourage the rising tide.

This will premiere today at 9:00 a.m. pst. If you'd like to come by and hang out while we watch it that would be cool. I can answer any questions you might have about stuff in the video.
