Downtown Albany pt. 2

My travels led me back to downtown Albany (and eventually on a return trip to Crossgates Mall for a coffee refill, but that's neither here nor there).
Sundays are the deadest days in downtown Albany (followed only by Saturdays), but there were still plenty of streetscape and architecture shots to be had. 

Alfred E. Smith Building with reflective pond. The name of each county in New York State is chisled into the marble running around the front and sides of the building.

Downtown Albany

Your Humble Photographer is in the Capital District, visiting some college friends and enjoying a belated birthday celebration.
Before heading up to the Saratoga area to see them, I spent part of the afternoon in downtown Albany, walking around and taking pictures. What downtown Albany on a Saturday afternoon lacks in people, it somewhat makes up for in still lifes.
