I’ve posted a few photos for this structure in the past. This time is from the top looking down the center. You can see the elevator at the 7th floor, which we never used by the way…..

Vessel and Empire State Building
During our last trip to NYC (last fall), MJ and I visited the Vessel and the High Line. While we walked the High Line, I captured this photo of the Vessel with the Empire State Building in the background. It was interesting to see it from a distance after being inside it a few minutes before hand. There was also this weird reflection of the sun off the building behind it that caused an odd bright contrasting space towards the top of the Vessel.

Vessel TKA
As you may already know, due to MJ’s FB post, we’ve been in NYC the last couple of days. This was one of our first stops upon arriving in the Manhattan. We explored this cool structure that is part art and part observation deck in the newly redeveloped Hudson Yards.
A few facts about this structure: It rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs in a honeycomb pattern. There are 2,500 steps and 80 landings for visitors to climb. The final cost was near $200 million to build and is currently going by the title of Vessel TKA. TKA stands for Temporarily Known As because they don’t have a permanent name for it yet. The owners have a website dedicated to the public helping with the final name. The Vessel opened in March 2019.
As you can probably guess, I took a ton of photos from all angles….inside, outside, down low, up high, etc…
