Albany with Wind Turbines Behind It ...
On this clear evening you can see the new Brodie Mountain Wind Farm, putting out a peek of 15 MW (10 turbines x 1.5 MW), which is enough to power the Empire Plaza, as seen in the foreground, when the wind is blowing, and it's not too hot or cool out.

More about John Boyd Thacher State Park...
John Boyd Thacher State Park, is situated along the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the richest fossil-bearing formations in the world. Even as it safeguards six miles of limestone cliff-face, rock-strewn slopes, woodland and open fields, the park provides a marvelous panorama of the Hudson-Mohawk Valleys and the Adirondack and Green Mountains. The park has volleyball courts, playgrounds, ball fields and numerous picnic areas with nine reservable shelters. Interpretive programs are offered year-round, including guided tours of the famous Indian Ladder Trail. There are over 25 additional miles of trails for summer hiking and mountain biking, and winter cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and snowmobiling.
