Empire State Building NYC


"New York's famous Empire State Building, a New York City Landmark and a National Historic Landmark, soars more than a quarter of a mile into the atmosphere above the heart of Manhattan.

Located on the 86th floor, 1,050 feet (320 meters) above the city's bustling streets, the Observatory offers panoramic views from within a glass enclosed pavilion and from the surrounding open-air promenade.

The Empire State Building has developed an annual lighting schedule which honors National Holidays, seasons, the myriad ethnic groups living in the New York City area and many worthy causes. From October 12. until 14. , 2007 Empire State Building honors “Eid al Fitr” with the green lights of the tower." By ESB

قبل از هر چیز عید فطر را تبریک می گم


اینجا که امروز عید بود ولی تو ایران نمی دانم که به چه صورت می باشد
در میان اخبار به موضوع جالبی برخورد کردم
برای احترام به عید فطر مسلمانانNew York در شهر
Empire State Building نورپردازی بلند ترین برج شهر
به مدت سه شباته روز به رنگ سبز خواهد بود

بلافاصله بعد از خواندن خبر به ساید رسمی برج مراجعه کردم و با دیدن جدول نورپردازی برج از صحت خبر اطمینان پیدا کردم
خلاصه این جوری شد که کلی هم درباره برج خواندم و مطالب مفید یاد گرفت. به عنوان مثال در سال 3.5 میلیون نفر به این برج که در سال 1930 به مدت یک سال و 45 روز ساخته شده مراجعه می کنند و از طبقه 86 یا 102 شهر را تماشا می کنند.این جور که معلومه باید دیدنی باشه

امیدوارم روزهای خوبی رو در کناره دوستان و خانواده داشته باشید
