Images of the Capital Region
This blog has
focused on out-of-town and especially out-of-the-country travel. Albany and the Capital Region, my
home since 1974, has received short shrift, tho views are sprinkled into some
posts (e.g., Gardens, Religious Sites, Cemeteries, Holidays, Seasons). Having done an “Images of NYC” post, it seems time to bring some local views to the fore.

State Plaza, a vision of Nelson Rockefeller, has an unfortunate political
history, razing neighborhoods for its construction, but it is, I suppose, the
most “iconic” site in Albany, dominating the skyline. It houses State offices,
a performing arts center (“the Egg”), and the State Museum.
