This shot is taken while I was up a few levels of stairs on the Vessel, as you can see it is a series of staircases.

The Vessel which is also sometimes called the Hudson yards staircase is part of the redevelopment that has taken place in the Hudson Yards area of NYC, The concept for Vessel was revealed in 2016. 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.

And a shot looking up when you enter the Vessel

If you are not into the exercise of climbing the stairs there is an elevator going up one side of the vessel, I chose to walk the stairs myself the day I visited it

And looking down from up at the top of the Vessel, or near the top, see that blue circle down at ground level, surrounded by people, people set their cell phones down to get shots like my second one in this post, looking up the center of the structure.

One thing I noticed when people were doing that a lot of the shots they get must have other people blocking the view as they lean in to sit their phone down for the shot

The day I went up the vessel was an overcast and dreary day so the view from up the vessel was not that exciting, so instead of the view let me share a last shot looking fown at the little people below

I have heard that the rush to get tickets to go up on the vessel has slowed down and you can now most days get tickets for the day you go online to book them, so on a nicer day with clear skies I will head back and go up there again

##Thats all folks
