Hi all :)

Last night was cold but the skies were nice and clear. Made the perfect opportunity to go shoot one of my fav sites - the Empire State Plaza in Albany, NY. I was very happy with how some of the shots came out and this is my fave:

The tallest tower is the Corning Tower and has an observation deck at the top. Some awsome sights can be seen from there.

The 3 tall buildings in a row (there are actually 4 of these, the Corning Tower is covering one) are called Agency Buildings and hold various offices.

The white oval shaped building is The Egg. It is made of one continus pour of concrete and is quite an amazing (and scary) structure to stand under.

If you look carefully behind the building with the lights around the roof (far right) you can see the Capitol. You can only see about half of it, the other half is covered. Albany is one of the few Capitol buildings in the US that does not have a dome on top of it.

EDIT: (My mistake - hubby and I just realized that is not the Capitol :S)

Enjoy, C&C is welcome.

Nice shot. I don't like the huge black space above the most left building. Cut that out a little...
