Reflections East

Barge Canal at Bellamy Harbor

For today’s image, I am under the Mill St. bridge, which can be seen spanning the Barge Canal in yesterday’s image. Looking east along the canal into the rising sun. The new Hamilton College rowing dock can be seen from this side of the canal. Me, I’m a fan of the reflections… 🙂

Bellamy Harbor

I know I have said (complained) about this before, but I miss access to my favorite view of Bellamy Harbor. The fence was one thing but the area is not being kept up. I thought the fence was bad enough but letting the grass grow wild prevents even an image through the fence. Yesterday morning’s attempt…

Delta Lake State Park

Patience has not always been my strong suit when it comes to photography. Well, let me re-state that… in certain instances I have not exhibited the patience I need to get the image I want. I’ve been known to wait 20+ minutes for the next monorail to pass by at Epcot but tend to leave early when the sun is not done performing at the end of the day.

The other night I almost left after the “Color My Thoughts” image but convinced myself there was more to see. The creative side of the brain won out and I was rewarded with this view as the sun dropped below the horizon. I really liked the calm waters reflecting the hectic display in the sky. And who can argue with those colors… 🙂

Chittenango Falls State Park

I like going to Chittenango Falls because I can explore more than the waterfall. The waterfall is easy. Finding other areas of the park to capture is what is fun. Plus, most visitors only view the falls and the remainder of the park is relatively people free… 🙂
