Downtown Albany

Do you know that the capitol of New York state is Albany? This is what the downtown is like.


We are standing in front of the New York State Capitol Building.

On the other side of the State Capitol Building, across State Street, is where The Egg is. This building is the center for performing arts.


From this view in the photo, The Egg building is located on the left of the water-fountain, while the four Agency office buildings of the Empire State Plaza are located on the right. In the far end of the fountain, is the Cultural Education Center, which can be seen in this photo.

The New York State Museum is found inside the Cultural Education Center.


The adorable squirrels and chipmunks are often seen here in the plaza.
