A moody monochrome photo in slightly blue tones, showing a street-level view of the Empire State Building as seen from a few blocks away on 34th Street in Manhattan. The building is backlit by the sun, and the spire casts a long dramatic shadow across the sky. In the foreground at left is the facade of the Macy’s building; at right is an antique double streetlight with gumball luminaires and some high-rise buildings across the street.
