More pics of Rockefeller Plaza

Rockefeller Center is a complex of 19 commercial buildings covering 22 acres between 48th and 51st streets and spanning the area between 5th Avenue and 6th Ave in New York City. Since its inception in 1928, Rockefeller and his wife, decided that this would be more than just a building. It would also be a work of art. The art deco building is infused with art throughout. I said it before, and I'll say it again...this is definitely better than the Empire State Building.

An enormous Swarovsky Crystal Chandelier at 30 Rock. If you could turn this upside down, you would see that it is a replica of the 30 Rockefeller Building. Cool.

One of several stunning murals in the lobby of 30 Rock - this one on the ceiling. See the man on the left, who is shouldering a log? He appears to be standing atop the pillars, and as you move from one pillar to the other, the perspective changes and he actually seems to shift his weight from one foot to the other. Amazing.

Just when I thought our trip couldn't be more perfect, a rainbow descended over the city! Incredible!
