Monochrome Monday the Vessel

Vertigo Warning - this is another post where people who suffer from vertigo may want to skip as it is looking down shots, I know my wife can't look at these, she walked in when I was editing one of these shots and felt terrible seeing it

Starting with a shot that hopefully, won't make anyone feel dizzy A view looking across while up the stairs in the vessel

I did another post with similar shots of the Vessel here in color for this post however, I am going with other shots edited in Mono for Monochrome Monday hosted by @old-guy-photos A challenge I try to join as often as I can, the other challenges he hosts are Sepia Saturday and Tree Tuesday, all fun challenges and worth checking out.

Construction started in April 2017. The structure topped out in December 2017 and opened on March 15, 2019.

its a honeycomb-like structure ( which when I first saw it I thought it looked like a beehive, that rises 16 Stories and has 154 flights of stairs, 2500 Steps and 800 landings and was designed by British designer Thomas Heatherwick.

This next shot is taken looking down from the top of the vessel at one of the buildings in Hudson Yards, I am not sure exactly what it is but it looks like some sort of structure over the building on Wheels I am not sure if it actually moves or not as it has been in this position each time I have visited the area
