Is every plaza in NYS an "Empire State Plaza"?

This week's travels were to Lake George and Albany. The camera phone pictures are grainy, but they are certainly quick to upload -- talk about instant gratification!

Here, brought to you all the way from the Empire State Plaza, is the "Trio" sculpture (bright yellow in real life) by George Sugarman, with City Hall as a backdrop.


I walked into and through the Sugarman sculpture. That was fun.


This one was interesting. It sort of worked with the 4 agency buildings (the tall striped ones on the left) and with the jagged roof lines of City Hall.


"The Egg" is appropriate as we enter into Holy Week. (In fact just today, dubbed "Palm Saturday" by church wags, we had an Easter pancake break for homeless men; they had the opportunity to eat and run (as a lot of them did) or to decorate Easter eggs afterward.)


Governor Spitzer promised to shake things up in Albany. Not sure how he's doing with his proposed budget (or the long-desired judicial salary increases), but it would seem he's already got started on some of the historic government buildings....


One disturbing image: has feminism gone too far?
