f/5.6, ISO: 64, Focal Length: 7.8 mm.
The Unisphere is a giant steel globe, 140 feet high and 120 feet in diameter, and weighs 900,000 pounds. It is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York. It was built by the US Steel Corporation for the 1964-1965 World's Fair as a symbol of world peace. The Unisphere is the best symbol of the borough of Queens and also one of the largest globes ever made.
I took this photo during an overcast weather condition in order to place more emphasis on the beautiful Unisphere and its environment.
