Circle Stack Interchange. I love how this interchange from the Corning Tower looks like a giant circle of ramps. I have always wondered if you put a giant marble on the top of it, where it would roll.

Inside the Corning Observation Deck. It was a beautiful day, and there was almost nobody around. There is no longer a security guard downstairs, and when I was on the floor, the guide wasn't even there for a while. Big state cutbacks.
