Lot&#8217;s of snow here in New York and it&#8217;s been cold in Chicago. The standard unit of snowfall in this area is around a foot; if I see a forecast for snow in Albany I figure we&#8217;re getting about a foot, probably more. It&#8217;s not windy so the snow simply accumulates and is really pretty.<\/p>\n<p>I \u00a0picked up a 36MP full frame DSLR with a wide angle lens and have had a chance to put it thru some paces. Compared to my Canon point and shoot, the DSLR is amazing!<\/p>\n<p>I had a chance to see some sights in Albany and Chicago over the last few weeks and the pictures are below. A few notes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The NY Capitol building is one of the most beautiful building I&#8217;ve ever been in. The place has a whole lot of stonework complete with gold covered walls (not even joking).<\/li>\n<li>Even from far up above in Corning Tower, Albany still looks like a dump.<\/li>\n<li>Chicago is quite pretty in the evenings.<\/li>\n<li>My Nikon D800 is amazing. I wish I was half as capable as the camera. The 20MBish photos are insane.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enjoy the pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Chris W.<\/p>\n<p><!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview\n\t ngg-ajax-pagination-none\t\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-1967ed82ad2a5483046f22f8e05186a9-1\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"slideshowlink\">\n\t\t<a href='https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/index.php\/nggallery\/slideshow?p=231'>[Show slideshow]<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/dsc_0151.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/dsc_0151.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/thumbs\/thumbs_dsc_0151.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1805\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-title=\"dsc_0151\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-description=\"\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-slug=\"dsc_0151\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"1967ed82ad2a5483046f22f8e05186a9\">\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"dsc_0151\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"dsc_0151\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/thumbs\/thumbs_dsc_0151.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"120\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"90\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"max-width:100%;\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-1\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/dsc_0168.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Million dollar staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/dsc_0168.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/thumbs\/thumbs_dsc_0168.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1806\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-title=\"Million dollar staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-description=\"Million dollar staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-slug=\"dsc_0168\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"1967ed82ad2a5483046f22f8e05186a9\">\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Million dollar staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Million dollar staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/thumbs\/thumbs_dsc_0168.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"120\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"90\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"max-width:100%;\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-2\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/dsc_0183.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Another staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/dsc_0183.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/thumbs\/thumbs_dsc_0183.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"1807\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-title=\"Another staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-description=\"Another staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-slug=\"dsc_0183\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"ngg-fancybox\" rel=\"1967ed82ad2a5483046f22f8e05186a9\">\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Another staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"Another staircase in the Capitol building.\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/thumbs\/thumbs_dsc_0183.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"120\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"90\"\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"max-width:100%;\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-3\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/word.christopherwagner.org\/wp-content\/gallery\/winter-2014\/dsc_0197.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"The &quot;War Room&quot; in the Capitol building.
