Looming GiantPosted by dj.tigersprout (New York City, United States) on 8 October 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio. one of my absolute favorite buildings in this city, the Sony Tower (formerly belonging to AT&T) looms its silent and classically elegant form over the local metropolitan landscape -- and against a bright blue sky... (as seen from the nearby entrance to the MoMA, midtown, manhattan). how i love New York City!!! all work protected by Creative Commons
