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.

As you can see 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 flight sof staurs, 2500 Steps and 800 landings and was designed by British designer Thomas Heatherwick.

I have only taken these shots from the ground such as these shots so far, you have to book tickets to go up the Vessel, the tickets are free and I think the main reason is to control how many people can go up there at any one time, each day at 8AM they make more tickets available, and I always forget to go on the site till about 10AM most days and the daily tickets assigned are all gone by that stage.
But one day soon I will remember to get on the site and book tickets, when you get onto the ticket portion of the site you can book tickets for a day and time in the two weeks ahead, I hope soon to get tickets and go up the vessel and see the views and of course get more shots.

Not sure if this is just really odd. Just really cool. Or just really oddly cool.
What I do know is these pictures are very nice. And I hope when you get tickets it is a beautiful day for photography. Looking forward to next edition.
