There’s an old New York City adage that the only people who look up while walking around in Manhattan are the tourists.

Well, I’ve been living here for almost 40 years, and I still look up.

And sometimes I whip out my phone and take a picture.

Of course the Empire State Building, more than any other New York landmark, has had people looking up for nearly a hundred years now.

But it doesn’t have to be a famous landmark to catch the eye.

Above, the World Trade Center. Below, Columbus Circle.

And finally, looking up at night at 34th and 8th

I’ll keep looking up. And taking more pictures.
