I love this “pen & ink” version of cityscape mosaic, so I am going to add it as a stand alone topic here at RJsMosaic. One of the prerequisites of this new category of “Cityscapes (Pen & Ink)” is that the image must contain historic buildings and infrastructure/utilities. Another is it must represent the character of the area where it was taken.

I know I have quite a few of these type pictures of Pittsburgh and I will be seeking out more of these pictures these type cityscapes from my roadtrips across America. The picture above was taken just down the road from the New York State Museum.

Albany, New York is a city of less then 100,000 population that is surrounded by woodsy rural areas. How it became the capital of New York State instead of New York City (population of 8,000,000) is worth studying.
