Look at the top photo on this page:

From the antenna of what building was this taken, and where is the
location of the building?

Is there a good resource for photos like these?

Dear bokajsen2-ga,
The photograph was taken at the top of the Empire State Building in
New York by Vincent Laforet who is a photographer with the New York
Times newspaper.

He held an exhibition in 2004 and this picture was part of the
exhibition. You can purchase a copy from his web site.
"'Perspectives' Exhibit : Photos by Vincent Laforet fiaf - 22 East
60th - March 16-March 30, 2004"

"Caption:
?EMPIRE STATE?
Deke Johnson, left, and Tom Silliman worked 1,385 feet above street
level to repair the electrical connections of an FM antenna atop the
Empire State Building. Below them, ant-sized people on the observation
deck imagined that they were the ones at the top of the world. 1/19/01
? New York, New York"

There are 19 of his other photographs on this link. Many are in a similar style.

You can order them on this link

This is his home page and through this you can find more photographs
and information on the photographer.

The ESB web site has a photograph (rather unclear) which shows the aerials.

You may be interested in this article on the photographer and how he
takes his pictures.

I?m not sure as to what you exactly mean by ?good resource for photos
like these? but these commercial photographic libraries are a good
staring point.
