The chin-up photo collection continues

The “Looking up in New York” series continues. This is the second installment looking up in Manhattan, but you can catch me looking up in Brooklyn too.

In fact, I have so many pics gathering for the next installement, I’ll make it a double, following this post up shortly with “Looking Up in New York 3”.

The only nighttime pic in this installment (but not the only Empire State pic):
