Taconic Trail

The Taconic Trail (NY Route 2) winding up it's way over the Taconic Crest into Massachusetts. The south-west corner of Vermont is in the upper west corner of this image - you can add state lines to see in greater detail. I've always kind of liked that little run-down homestead up in the shadow of the mountain as you start to climb this rather rough road. Much of the wild land in his photo is either the Taconic Ridge State Forest or the lands of Williams College.

CDTA Troy Bus Depot

It seems very wasteful of urban downtown space in Troy that the CDTA Troy Bus Depot is located at the base of the Hoosick Street Interstate 787 Bridge, but it was a neighborhood that was demolished decades earlier under one of many failed urban renewal projects in the city.
