Chrysler Building

Designed by William Van Alen in the Arat Deco Style. When it was built in 1930 it was the tallest building in the world until superceeded by the Empire State Building the following year.

Looking down 42nd Street on the day of "Manhattanhenge" when the sunset lines up with the grid of the city streets. The spire of the Chrysler building rises above the other buildings on the right.
