Floating above Albany

For zoning out: The creator of the Above Albany Instagram / Facebook account has put together a video of drone clips and timelapse shots of downtown Albany. It's embedded above.

And it sounds like there's a Troy video on its way.

Liked it! cool music too. Probably should have been called "Downtown Albany"...since it didn't show the University or the College of St. Rose or Washington Park or Lark Street or the University Heights area or any of the Primarily residential areas....BUT that is not a criticism, looking forward to the next one!

While it is not "marketing" something with this level of creativity would surely help to introduce those who live elsewhere to downtown Albany.

Siiiiiigh. So many views of highway yet so few cars on that roadway. How can one justify its existence? One would hardly notice in that video that Albany is on a major river.
