Live, from the top
If you have yet to click on the image of the Empire State Building there in the left-hand column to activate the live Towercam, you're missing out on one of the best features of The Dagley Dagley Daily. You can not only aim the camera remotely over the Internet, but save (or even e-mail) snapshots of your favorite views. The Towercam lets you check the weather (above, a thunderstorm over Jersey City, approaching Lower Manhattan), even the time and temperature. You can check out Central Park (that's the George Washington Bridge in the distance); the Chrysler Building (that's the 59th Street Bridge over the East River behind it); the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges; the Verrazano Bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island (it has its own live webcam here; Bryant Park; the Flatiron Building; the Hoboken beach featured in yesterday's post; the Statue of Liberty; and an assortment of sunrises and sunsets, as well as a constant parade of barges and cruise ships. You can even see the people on the observatory decks. You'll find more photos, including quite a few taken during the 4th of July fireworks, in the Towercam photo album. And if you'd like to see some of these views with your own eyes, you can even buy (and print) a ticket online to visit the Empire State Building yourself.
