Day 5.191: These clogs were seen by walking

I mentioned that I found a set of pictures from our visit to downtown Albany.  We went on a little walking tour in, to be honest, too close to the full heat of the day to see the decorated clogs.

Here are some moments from our tour:


Clockwise from top left:  One of our favorites; a wistful reminder of the Albany Aquaducks on their penultimate day of operation; some of downtown's wonderful trompe l'oeil artwork under an unassuming bridge; some real peek-a-boo brickwork that caught our eye just afterwards; the excellent map-clog; sharing Mayor Whalen's bench and the rather lovely clog at the Quackenbush Square.

It was a nice excuse to spend some time downtown although we always manage to drag my parents there in difficult weather (last time it was cold and windy, this time hot and humid) - maybe next time we'll time it better!
