So...finally. This is the last image of the stream about the 1986' journey through the USA. All images were scanned slides (Nikon Super Coolscan 5000), taken with a Minolta X700. I really thank you very much, all who travelled with me ;-) The album grew pretty big.

It was the tallest building in the world only for 11 months, from 1930 to 1931. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

443.2 m above ground is the antenna's peak. Per the original plans, the Empire State Building's spire was intended to be an airship docking station. The 80th, 86th, and 102nd floors contain observatories. I visited the 86th floor observation deck back then, the higher one was closed for public. - scanned slide, Minolta X700

The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, United States. It was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and built from 1930 to 1931. Its name is derived from "Empire State", the nickname of the state of New York. The building has a roof height of 380 m and stands a total of 443.2 m tall, including its antenna. The Empire State Building stood as the world's tallest building until the construction of the World Trade Center in 1970. Following its collapse in 2001, the Empire State Building was again the city's tallest skyscraper until 2012 (!). As of 2020, the building is only the seventh-tallest building in New York City, but sure one of the most beautiful. - scanned slide, Minolta X700
