New York: Images of the Empire State

[douglas9]

New York has the fourth-largest population of any U.S. state, and is home to the most populous city in the country, New York City. From Buffalo, through the Finger Lakes, to the Hudson Valley, Manhattan, and more, here are a few glimpses of the landscape of New York, and some of the wildlife and people calling it home.

This photo story is part of Fifty, a collection of images from each of the United States.

An earlier version of this photo essay misidentified the location of one of the photos. The caption has been corrected.

3. The state capital looks lovely.

The Mohonk Mountain House, a resort hotel along Lake Mohonk, is so cool. Tony Bourdain we there and sort of made it seem like The Shining. I am glad some of these old beauties still exist.

4. Thanks so much for posting! I'm in New York and grew up here, as well

I was born in Albany, mostly grew up in Saratoga, now live just south of Lake George, Adirondack Foothills, so I see lots of areas that are familiar to me - and these photos are just beautiful!
