While on a visit to New York City I went to the Empire State Building so I could travel to the 86th Floor Observatory Deck and enjoy viewing the beauty of Manhattan and the surrounding areas of Manhattan from the Observatory Deck. Arrived at the top of the Empire State Building Observatory Deck at approximately 7:00 pm and began to take photos from various views of the city and the surrounding areas of Manhattan. I waited before I left to see the sun begin to set looking towards the west side of the Observatory Deck and into New Jersey. I caught the sun hitting the horizon and giving off this amazing glow as it set on New York and going down over New Jersey, leaving a beautiful reflection in the water and an amazing glow in the sky. Great day even at 91 degrees out. The Empire State Building has one of the most popular outdoor observatories in the world, having been visited by over 110 million people. The 86th-floor observation deck offers impressive 360-degree views of the city. There is a second observation deck on the 102nd floor that is open to the public. It was closed in 1999, but reopened in November 2005. It is completely enclosed and much smaller than the first one; it may be closed on high-traffic days. Tourists may pay to visit the observation deck on the 86th floor and an additional amount for the 102nd floor.The lines to enter the observation decks, according to Concierge.com, are "as legendary as the building itself:" there are five of them: the sidewalk line, the lobby elevator line, the ticket purchase line, the second elevator line, and the line to get off the elevator and onto the observation deck. For an extra fee tourists can skip to the front of the line. The Empire State Building makes more money from tickets sales for its observation decks that it does from renting office space.The skyscraper's observation deck plays host to several cinematic, television, and literary classics including, An Affair To Remember, On the Town, Love Affair and Sleepless in Seattle. In the Latin American literary work Empire of Dreams by Giannina Braschi the observation deck is the site of a pastoral revolution; shepherds take over the City of New York.
