This photo was one of my "rejects" after a trip to upstate New York back in 2016. But with the help of software, I was able to find some redeeming qualities. This is the Westgate district of Albany, a little less than three miles from downtown. A set of my grandparents (do grandparents come in sets?) lived near here for most of my life. I also lived nearby in my first-ever apartment after leaving home back in '77, so I'm familiar with the neighborhood.
Looking easterly along Central Avenue (NYS Route 5) toward downtown and the Hudson River, May 2016.
There are a lot (!) of car dealerships in this part of town.
We're expecting a lot of rain on Tuesday. And just when the ground was starting to dry out a little.
It looks like Route 1, Anytown America.
ReplyDeleteNice sky!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is definitely a photo of American suburbia.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a pleasant city. Love your Image of the Week.

A blessing for the farmers, though - or not really?
ReplyDeletemitch, yup.
ReplyDeletejudy, that was one of the things I did with software. The sky was too white in the original version.
evelyn, it certainly is!
bettyann, the tulips come up in Albany's Washington Park each year and there's a festival.
michael, not really. It's too wet. We'll see how it goes as spring arrives.
