I am finally learning how to upload pics so I am going to try posting some here on my ramblings page. These are some from my New York City. This wasn't a Brokie event, it was a Jack event, so I hope that is OK. It's my ramblings so it should be, but I know some places would hit me on the head with a ruler. This is mainly a test of my uploading ability and then I will begin posting pics of the other events.
Some of these pics from out the window have some issues. Some have a bit of double exposure due to the fact that the window would reflect back into the room somewhat. When you see the one of the hotel you will understand. They were not clear windows. I'm wondering if they were almost like two way mirrors. One morning I was sitting there in my 38th floor room and I saw these ropes outside. All of a sudden I looked over and there were two men out there washing the windows. At the time I thought they could probably see me, but I'm thinking they could probably not see in from the outside. If so, I bet they have some stories to tell. That sure would be some job suspended from that small platform hanging outside a skyscraper. So since I keep mentioning the hotel, here it is from the outside. It has 45 floors so I was near the top. It has a light beam that comes all the way from the lobby and out the top. The only time I saw it was when I went up to the observation deck of the Empire State Building. You would not believe how small this hotel looked from up there. It is a very unusual building. Best hotel I have ever stayed in.
