Double Rainbow
Mother Nature was showing off with a double rainbow in Albany, NY today following a rainstorm. I took this photo from my work looking east toward the Hudson River.
Brick Building
I love the contrast between the old brick building and the morning sky in this photo. I shot this from a parking garage on my way into work.
The garage is surrounded by many older buildings, some being renovated and others in disrepair. Either way, you can see the history all around.
Average peak fall foliage
Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons.
There is something about being able to visibly see the changes in the leaves going from green to various shades of yellow, red, and orange. As with any transitional period, I always find these predefined moments a great way to reconnect with yourself and your current path.
Fall and spring have both been two seasons that bring about these biggest forms of self-reflection. It’s also a great time to reconnect and be in nature when it may be too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer.
The following map is an average time when you can expect peak fall foliage in your area. Weather and elevation also factor in when and how quickly the leaves change.
Gate Way
Spotted this old gate during a walk in the Stockade District in Schenectady.
Stockades
One of the things I love about living in Schenectady is the historical Stockade District. The buildings and architecture bring you back to another time.
The Stockade District is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in the country with some of the buildings dating back to the 1600s and 1700s.
Franklin Alley
With this photo, I wanted to show a unique perspective of the Franklin Alley sign in Troy to the older buildings along River Street.
