Another NYC Moment

As I’m enjoying a relaxing Sunday, I thought it might be nice to share another moment from last Sunday. At that time, I was exploring High Line park and found some interesting photo subjects. Dinosaur was definitely one of those, and, of course, there is no escaping the Urban Landscape! Or maybe those high-rise buildings that act like Glass Pincers…

Here’s another unusual structure I ran into…

Vessel

The name of this copper-clad structure is Vessel, and it’s definitely an eye-catcher! It rises 150 feet into the air and has 154 flights of stairs with a total of 2,500 steps and 80 landings. And, yes, there is an elevator that takes you to the top, so you only have to go down those steps.

Next time that I am in the Hudson Yards area, I will make sure I have a ticket so that I can take some photos from different angles!

    This reminded me of my visit to The Vessel back in March 2023. I took the elevator all the way to the top and just stood there, taking in the view. It felt a bit surreal—like I was both inside the city and somehow outside it, watching it from a quiet pocket of space.

    Your photo really captures that same kind of feeling.

      Hi Khürt!

      Thank you for sharing that experience. I’ll admit that I am curious what views are available both of the city and the Vessel. No I want to visit it again even more!

      Be well!

      Yes,Brian, this is not your usual building… Of course, the ultimate question is whether it was worth $200 million to build an artsy set of stairs 🙂 At $20 per ticket that’s a lot of visitors to recoup the investment 🙂

        The Australian National Gallery paid $1.3 million for Jackson Pollacks Blue Poles which caused outrage in 1973. Now it is worth $500 million
