Original - View of the towns of New Scotland and Bethlehem and the city of Albany in New York, United States from a lookout point in John Boyd Thacher State Park. Much of this view exemplifies the still-rural nature of many areas in upstate New York and specifically in the Capital District. Juxtaposed with this rural nature is the city of Albany. Right of center just below the horizon can be seen the four dormitory towers of the University at Albany and right of that can be seen the Empire State Plaza in Albany. An edge of the Helderberg Escarpment can be seen at right.
Reason
A 180° panorama on a clear day overlooking the rural towns southwest of Albany, New York, taken from Thacher Park. Shows the still-rural nature of upstate New York and the Capital District and shows off a good portion of the state park and the north end of the Helderberg Escarpment.
