The wedge-shaped design of this building formed by the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue earned it the nickname Flat Iron. Designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham (who masterplanned Baguio City) in 1902, this is widely considered, at 87 meters, the world's first skyscraper.

Peering down from the top floor of the Guggenheim Museum, I was intrigued by these concentric geometrical patterns. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, this building was controversial when it opened in 1959 because one climbed the lift to the top then walked down a spiral ramp to view the modern masterpieces displayed on the walls. Critics complained that the walls were concave making it difficult to hang paintings, viewing space was limited, and there wasn't enough lighting. Today, it is a revered iconic piece of architecture.

I was trying to get a good vantage point to shoot the Empire State building when I chanced upon these cherry blossoms lining a park on the Lower Eastside. Though quite cluttered with only the tower clearly visible, I still like this shot.
