The Portal

Vertigo Warning - this is another post where people who suffer from vertigo may want to skip as it is looking up shots

For this post I will share some shots of a building that I call the portal, it is at 135 East 57th NYC

Now from this first shot you may wonder why I call it the portal, it is an interesting building with the curved street-front shape, but when I step back from this view and lookup again you can perhaps see why to me it looks like a sort of portal from a SciFi movie.

Now you are either agreeing me thinking especially in Mono it does kind of look like a portal, or you have just confirmed that I am nuts LOL

Its been a little while since I did a post for the looking up challenge that has been started by @melinda010100 and @pixelfan, so this will be an entry for that challenge as well

And finishing off with a similar point of view but a different shot this time in color

I am curious am I nuts or do you see this sort of maybe if your tired, kind of looks like a portal or am I nuts?

And that’s all folks


unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

so many are so busy heading to and from wherever they feel they need to be they never look up and miss cool sights like this

I have a friend who lives literally across the street from this building and he actually asked me where it was LOL

Great photos Jay and especially for #lookingup! Amazing how a different angle gives it a different perspective and definitely has a portal look to it! The first photo sure had that vertigo feel to it..for me anyway!😉

Sorry about the vertigo feel, I am lucky I dont suffer from it but that also means I dont know which one is worse, I thought the first shot would be the less vertigo-inducing

Wow straight up to the stars! It does look like a portal, we've been shown them
so many times in different sci fi movies, star trek, stargate, etc. All the windows
like doors to other worlds. Fantastic photos @tattoodjay! How is your neck? :-)

I think the concept of this view being a portal came from watching the Stargate show now that I think about it

and my Neck is fine I cheated and used the tilting screen on my camera for these shots
