View from Columbus Circle

It's hard to see in this cell phone photo, but in the view from the Time Warner conference center in Columbus Circle, all of these buildings look really two-dimensional, like cardboard cutouts stacked on top of each other. What I also like about them is the range of distinctive architectural styles, and the way you can almost pick out one building from each decade of the last century or so. You can very clearly see the 1920s, 40s, 60s, 80s, 90s, and today (the monochrome one just above the glass panels at the bottom, the new Museum of Arts and Design, opened last year).
