About 15 years ago, I was living in Maryland and was offered a job to tear down some communications equipment from the roof of a building in NYC. That was my first and only trip to NYC, and I wasn't the driver, so I had no idea where in NYC I was. I have two pictures from that trip and would be thankful if somebody could pinpoint which building I was on.

Here is the first one:


This one is taken 90 degrees to the left of the first one. I have no idea which direction either of these pictures was taken, but if the first one was facing south, then this one would be facing east.



I'm not at all familiar with the buildings of NYC, so this my be kind of dumb, but is that the Empire State building just to the right of the New Yorker building in the fist picture? What is the other tall building just to the right of that?

Pretty sure you're on this roof.

Google Earth 3d buildings makes this super easy for New York pictures (but dominator's hint helped a lot). That was fun and I kinda want to do more!

Wow, you nailed it! I remember those triangular things up on the roof. That second picture was a repeater on the north corner. Thank you very much!
