The tall iridescent green building on the left is the United Nations building. It is located at the end of 42nd Street by the East River in Manhattan. This photo was taken from across the river in Long Island City, Queens.So what is the up-and-coming area or neighborhood in your city?

This photo brought Eliane to mind (don't know why, it just did - btw, have you heard from her?).
Hi Ming,
This is Photolicious (from Sillypore). Do you know what on earth happened to Eliane? She had her last entry in the blog almost a month back and we haven't heard from her since...she was supposedly in a plane getting to somewhere which we were supposed to guess.
great shot, i love the sun and the reflection in the water... i
This is a fantastic photo.
Beautiful!
ta skyline est magnifique. j'aime beaucoup ce bâtiment de l'ONU, avec le soleil qui tombe dessus, on peut faire de superbe photo.
your skyline is splendid. I like this building of the ONU very much, with the sun which happens, they can make of superb photograph.
Ah U.N. I know it. I had some speech there. Giggle ! --- OT: from Flckr I realized that Eliane seems to be in Nice, French (Côte d'Azur).
Nice photograph, Ming.
Ming, how funny, I just posted a coastline photo of NYC as well. Geez!
Notice how this side of NYC is much more photogenic than the other. The other has the new Trump towers along the West Side highway, but the East side is much more classic.
I just adore the UN building. Gorgeous.
I noticed something on a Top Chef episode last season when the contestants were teased with going to NY. They were holed up in New Jersey, but the shot the producers decided to show was of New York's East Side, essentially the 'wrong' side of the city.
See? The photogenic side of choice.
That's a really lovely photo of that stretch of land on the East River. It makes the U.N. building look majestic and not at all grimy like it usually does...
Beautiful picture...love the shadows and the sun and the ripples in the water:)
Really nice photo! Can't wait to visit this summer.
Nice capture!
Great photo today Ming. Really says New York! Is that the sun going down or is it a reflection in a building?
This photo is breathtaking, Ming!
I am very impressed! Well done!
Beautiful photo Ming.
My guess is that East Harlem is up and coming, because anything below 96th Street is totally unaffordable.
The photo is a great view for those of us living far from that wonderful city. I'm so sorry to hear that the UN building is "grimy" from one of the posters.
heard that the UN building is plaque with lots of problems?
this photo looks nice!
