Reflection of the Empire State Building, New York

I was not even going to see the Empire State Building. It must have been the camera hanging on my neck and my question to the bus driver that gave it away that I was a visitor. Or he just thought I would be interested. A gentleman got off the bus right behind me. He said he was going to show me something. He walked with me a few steps and pointed to a building a little further down the crowded street, on the right side of us. It was the reflection of the Empire State Building. I could tell from the way he talked about it that he appreciated the view very much. In fact, he took a picture of it as I did. Snap, snap. 

That was an awesome piece of information he shared. I thought to myself: no amount Googling or no Apps could tell you that. I count on incidents like this to justify my not relying so much on the Internet. Talking to people is so interesting. They might tell you interesting things, too. Like where to look for reflections.
