Albany Skyline. Looking down from Hang Gliders Cliff at the City of Albany. I work in the upper mid-rise of Alfred E Smith Building, which looks so small from up here. It makes me realize how small us humans really are.

Completed Housing Development. I took this same picture two years ago from High Point, looking down at these condos under construction. Completed, they look even more tacky -- if you want to live in a community with neighbors, don't live way out in the sticks, surrounded by farm land and the Altamont Fairgrounds.

Former Army Depot. This former Army Depot was built during World War II to supply the troops in Guilderland. Today, it is an industrial park, and such a blighted landscape as seen from High Point and Thatcher Park alike.
