Description
My apologies to Alan (alanwilliams) who has already commented on this image. As I was reading his nice comment, I noticed a tilt in the roof line which I hadn't seen before. I deleted the image to fix it.
This is another view from the High Line in New York City. It is a view of the Meatpacking district. The building with the DVF, and the lips is the studio of Diane von Furstenberg. She is a fashion designer of great renown, best know for her very popular wrap dress.
The following is from http://inside.dvf.com/
"In 2005, Diane was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) for her impact on fashion, and one year later, was elected the CFDA's new president, an office she continues to hold. A firm believer in the power of women, Diane sits on the board of Vital Voices, a women's leadership organization that empowers emerging women leaders and social entrepreneurs around the world. She is also a board member of the Housatonic Valley Association (HVA). As a longtime resident of New York's Meatpacking District, Diane is a vocal member of the local community. She opens up her studio on a regular basis to host cultural events and is actively involved in the campaign to save and redevelop the historical Highline railway."
As ever, thanks for viewing and commenting!

I think there is still a slight tilt, but at this point I've decided to blame the buildings.

A really fabulous capture! Nicely done!

it maybe the angle of the lens. . cool shot

A vast variety of repetitive architecture and geometric patterns in this fine foto, Lucinda, and I don't see any tilt. The only thing missing are Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Jules Munshin and Betty Garrett.

Lucinda, this really is a great looking photo as you seemed to capture so much of this vital area in it. Really enjoyed reading about Diane, and all of her contributions as it all served to add to this one so much. She sounds like an amazing and driven lady.

WOW....Wonderful shot dear Lucinda, an enchanting city and perspective! Adorable Shot!

Except for the satellite dishes and Diane's gallery this is a skyline that would have been familiar to my grandparents. Isn't it nice when old buildings are repurposed rather than torn down? Wonderful capture of this historic district.

When I replace an image, Lucinda, I just use the EDIT botton and upload another image and all the comments stay where they are. This one is mighty awesome. I love this one. :-D

Thanks, I did try that but it didn't seem to work. Maybe my eyes were tilted!

La leggera inclinazione dipende dall'obiettivo e dall'angolo di ripresa, ma èun problema molto piccolo! Un agglomerato incredibile di edifici diversi in uno spazio ristretto! Un ottimo punto di vista accompagnato da interessanti note . Buona giornata , Lucinda . Qui , da stamani ,infuria un violento temporale con la luce che va e viene . The slight tilt, depends on the camera, and the angle of recovery, it is a very small! An amazing agglomeration of different buildings in a confined space! A good point of view accompanied by interesting notes. Good day, Lucinda. Here, from this morning, a raging storm with the light that comes and goes.

gorgeous (in its own way) urban environment!

Great shot with a wonderful sense of depth and clarity. I love the jumble of different building styles that makes the shot look properly urban and crowded. I'm not seeing any real tilt to speak of. I guess you fixed it. Nice work and theinfo on Miss von Furstenberg was very interesting. I had no idea she was so active.

I love a good urban photo and this one is as good as they come. I love the jumble of buildings, the lines, the angles, the windows either looking in or out (depending on who's actually doing the looking, I suppose) and all of the wonderful little details that make this come alive. The people near the storefront (at least it looks like a storefront...way over there) really add to the scale of this image and gives is a massive sense that often comes across only when someone's interested in catching a vibe rather than just an image. This definitely has a vibe, and it reminds me--in numerous ways--of New Crobuzon, only without non-human city residents doing whatever it is that they do on bright, sunny days. This is really quite a stunning shot!

Wonderful slice of New York, I can smell the city. I think New York as a very distinct smell from any other city. And it definitely has many layers. Wonderful photo and great info. Excellent work.

A great looking streetscape you have found here, there are so many different shapes and designs.
