To anyone thinking of visiting Albany for our yearly Tulip Fest, come visit the week BEFORE the festival to see the tulips just as beautiful with 5% of the crowd. I loved being able to see the arrangements of flowerbeds from 100ft up, all the way to the brownstones on Madison Ave.

I built me a castle
With dragons and kings
And I’d ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn roads
Thought of going back
But all I’d see are strangers’ faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks thru those places
I’m wonderin’
What’s come of them
Does some other young boy
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn roads

If you know me, you know I have such a thing for brownstones. I love them so much. I think they're beautiful. I think the colors creeping around the homes make the photo. Lovely.
In many neighborhoods around Boston, you'll find a huge assortment of brownstone row houses. These brick structures are common in many east coast communities. Some of the best, and most beautiful, collections of brownstones can be found in the Back Bay neighborhood, especially along the Commonwealth Mall.

Throughout much of the 19th century, the quarries of Portland, Connecticut provided brownstone to cities all over the U.S., including New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Brownstone_Quarries
The Tyler Forks River tumbles down an area called the Cascades, then plunges over Brownstone Falls before flowing into the Bad River in the gorge below. This view is incredibly dramatic.
This was a great looking scene in person - the fading sun bouncing off the foreground condos, while the great blue Hudson divided two urban centers of vastly different scales.
I manually combined three exposure to make a high-dynamic range image. Didn't bother editing out the moving car though.
One could probably walk up or down just about any street in Bisbee and be treated to a variety of shapes, colors, and building materials. (There's no shortage of wires in town, either.)
The Bisbee Brownstone on Brewery Street caught my eye. From Google I learned it was built in 1904 and was called Bisbee's first skyscraper. (It still must be among the tallest buildings in town.) The upper two stories are currently rented as suites. Of great importance (to me)... it's located in the Shattuck-Schmid building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
