    Cool shot, I've been up there a few times but never gotten good weather for it. It's well worth a visit for those who haven't been, and much less chaotic than visiting top of the Empire State.

    Great shot Eric! Nice to see the Empire state as part of the skyline from that perspective.

    Really nice, Eric! Was that handheld, or can you use a tripod up there?

    Do you know if there is a limit as to how long you can stay up there? I thought about going up, but would love to go late afternoon, then stay for sunset and after dark, but I was wondering if they would let you do that.

    No Tripods allowed. Had to improvise by putting my camera on Flat Service and using my Remote release. I stayed up there for almost two and half hours. There was a decent sized crowd, however I was not asked to leave. Spent my time taking photos and interacting with tourist. Always alot of fun.

    For those who don't have remote shutters, I use the timer to take a hands-free photo.
