Not wanting to be a pedant but the tallest building on the right is 432 Park Avenue.

30 Rockefeller Center really isn't that tall (850ft) compared to a lot of the big stuff in Manhattan. The Empire State Buiilding is 1250ft, 432 Park Avenue is just shy of 1400ft.

St Paul's from BA431 (AMS-LHR) on 16 July 2018.
One thing I've noticed that there is a vast difference in the clarity of the windows on different aircraft types: this being an A319 - which I find to be about the best (along with the other 319/320/321's). With a full resolution photograph you can easily make out the colour of people's clothing from many miles away (and 1000's ft altitude).
In contrast I find that the 787's have really poor window clarity, and odd colour casts across photos taken through them (taken without a polariser - and with the window 'dimmer' fully 'open'). I presume that the 787's have polycarbonate-type windows?

Took a trip with some colleagues to Naejangsan National Park, near Jeonju, about 3 hours drive south of Seoul, as it is famous for its maple and persimmon trees. They are showing great colours. We thought that it would be fairly quiet as it was a Monday, but it was rammed with thousands of people which made good picture taking challenging.
Did get a few shots - one of a dead cherry(?) tree among the other trees and some from a ride on the cable car...

Nice shots Yrin ^
Some with the iphoneX from last night and this afternoon around Gangnam. Very wet in the area, and in my room. I put some washing into the washing machine in my hotel room, no problem after washing cycle, no water in the machine then set it to dry. Opened the machine and the drum was full of water, and ended up with it all over the floor.

I was hoping to get out and get some nice photos this evening around Mapo, Seoul, but the rain was torrential - still waiting for yet another band or rain to pass through, so might venture out later (not)... . Meanwhile:

... on the plus side, the rain cleared the air, so the following day it was nice and clear - at least for a few hours until the smog rolled back in. This a view from the base of the Seoul Tower looking towards Mapo and Gongdeok in Seoul. (at the base of the radio tower on the right you can see the roof of the Seoul railway station).

From New York a few weeks ago. I was working just south of the Brooklyn Bridge and took my camera and tripod along with the aim of getting the totally sterotypical Manhattan photograph, which I promptly then did.
