Hmmm, I've heard the sun almost never shines in Binghamton ;-) Sunny mid-day photography is always dicey, and not just bacause of the heat. The glare you refer to is UVL which bleaches color and tends to cause blah photos. Also bright overhead sun creates harsh shadows. The best times for outdoor photography are early or late, when the sun's lower angle gives more atmosphere to filter out the UVL. Colors are richer, and the photographer is more comfortable!

Oddly, to me, it is evocative, but not necessarily in a positive way. As a Binghamton native, I well recall those HOT, humid days where the sun is high, like in this photo, and there's no breeze, and the glare is a killer.
