We snapped this pic at Albany NanoTech this week. It was kind of beautiful watching the just-setting sun reflect off all that glass.

Hi, I recently moved back to Albany and I love photographing sunsets...where are some good spots in the area? Thanks so much in advance.

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
When we started AOA a decade ago we had no idea what was going to happen. And it turned out better than we could have... (more)
This all feels like the last day of camp or something. And we're going to miss you all so much. But we'd like to stay... (more)
Working on AOA over the past decade has been a life-changing experience for me and it's shaped the way I think about so many things.... (more)
If winter ever gets its act together and drops more snow on us, there will be sidewalks to shovel. And shortly after that, Albany will... (more)
Last week we were fortunate enough to spend a few minutes with Jack McEneny -- former state Assemblyman, unofficial Albany historian, and genuinely nice guy.... (more)

It's a bit of a drive, but well worth it. Sunset Rock in the Catskills is aptly named, and has been a favorite spot for photographers, painters and poets for over a century. [Info] [Photos]

A good spot is near the EMPAC building (yeah, the one that looks like a boat!) on the RPI campus. There's a great view facing west that looks over Troy, the Hudson, and beyond.

There are some spectacular views of Albany from the other side of the river. It's a beautiful drive along I-90 heading west in the evenings (now late afternoons!) - I seem to remember that the parking lot at the Cracker Barrel in East/North Greenbush, right off the Interstate, had some really nice views of Albany.

Sometimes the location makes little difference. This shot from more than a couple of years ago was taken in the parking lot at Sam's Club in Latham.

Try the Lansingburgh boat launch... it's at 123rd St., so you're looking West across the Hudson toward Peebles Island State Park. Going "uphill" from there, some of the lookouts at Oakwood Cemetary provide a nice unobstructed view as well.
