The distinctive triangular shape of the Flatiron Building (or Fuller

Building, as it was originally called), designed by Chicago architect

Daniel Burnham as a vertical Renaissance palazzo with Beaux-Arts

styling and built in 1902, allowed it to fill the wedge-shaped

property located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway. The

building was intended to serve as offices for the George A. Fuller

Company, a major Chicago contracting firm. At 22 stories and 307 feet,

the Flatiron was never the city's tallest building, but always one of

its most dramatic-looking, and its popularity with photographers and

artists has made it an enduring symbol of New York City for more than

a century.

A wonderful take on this often photographed building. Love the composition and the colours in the sky. Well seen an excellent post processing. Best wishes William.
