Albany Bulb

We took a walk around the Albany Bulb. The Bulb used to be a landfill or dumping ground. Then it was a homeless camp. Today, it is an always-changing collection of random art.

This is one of the game pieces left over from a game we played at the Albany Bulb back in 2002. The game was one part scavenger hunt, one part dominos.

...which leads to a house of cards. Well, the house is made out of concrete but the shapes are all about cards.

We stumbled across a trebouchet in action. Unfortunately, this was the last run. The main throwing arm (I'm sure there is a technical term for this) broke on this run.
