Last Thursday’s lunchtime photo mini vaction was to the Flatiron Building, built in 1902, on 23rd and 5th Ave. Some people thought it would blow over in the wind.

One of my favorite buildings! Thanks Pablo. I've always wanted to see inside though--could you? Huh?

Smalls, sounds like an adventure. Howie and I (always good to bring reinforcements)will try, sometime next week when the humidity is lower.

Thanks Pablo! None of the architecture histories ever show you inside.

That is one neat building, one of the ones that is recognizable by just about everybody even if they don't know the name, they've seen it in a movie. Great shots, Pablo, awesome!

I love #3, it shows such detail and the color is great. I have seen many pics of this building before, but none have ever been as enjoyable as the detailed shot. Very nice.

I have seen this boulding plenty, but never seen it from so many good angles in such a short amount of time... well done. I love #5. It would be cool of you would have #3 on a wider angle and see both sides...
