 A defining architectural detail of New York City -- the ubiquitous old water towers still standing atop many buildings. Took this at sunset in midtown Manhattan.

Very interesting - our water towers are huge and are based on the ground. Plus they look like big upside down bulbs lol. It's great to see a photo like this because it's something I may never have noticed.

Nice use of silhouette for the pic.

There's still a few of those left around here. Seeing these reminds me of when there were quite a few around. Thanks for the memory.

Very urban shot. I don't think we have any of these rooftop water towers in California (at last Southern California). They topple in earthquakes, I guess.

No silhouette here, either. Great, gritty, dusky shot. Very interesting structure.

Fresno, California, the nearest 'major' city to me, is such a boring place that one of its old water towers is a major landmark. Just a random note.

I love all of your city shots; this one is interesting because it's not something you'd expect to see above all the urban scenery. Are any of these actually still in use?

Also, it's interesting, looking at the other comments, the difference in monitor calibrations: This is not a silhouette on my machine.

A bit of a departure for you... I love the silhouette. Quite a nice image for NYC.
