    What a great building this is, especially the sculptures and the main entrance. I have walked past the building at ground level a number of times, but photos taken from a higher level are often more useful.

      I also like to see buildings from an elevated level but too often I have to make do with street level.

    The broadcaster, against which all others are judged, has a fine building. Its aerial looks very RKO.
