Ferry landing, Stow, NY
Bemus Point from ferry landing in Stow
Although they are still working on the ferry, I wanted a picture of Bemus Point from across the lake in Stow. Friday morning was a beautiful morning as I watched the sunrise in the rear view mirror on our way to Erie. I was hoping Saturday morning would be as good. It didn’t disappoint, but I have to admit Friday was a little more dramatic. I think I was able to capture a good one…
Bellamy Harbor Park, Rome, NY
I left for work a little later than usual yesterday. A combination of long hours the previous day and a restless night of sleep had me dragging my feet out the door. It ended up working out for the best. The pre-sunrise sky was full of color and improving by the minute. I didn’t make it very far on my drive before the car was turning toward Bellamy Harbor Park. I know I grab a lot of images at this park but it is close and the conditions are always to my liking… interesting details, water for a reflection and the sun rising in the background. How could I not stop?
Bellamy Harbor Park, Rome, NY
I always assumed that Bellamy Harbor Park was part of the city of Rome’s responsibility. I have been giving the city credit for all the good renovation that has occurred over the last few years. It is actually owned by the New York State Canal Corporation. I guess I should be giving credit where credit is due.
The Canal Corporation has been adding a lot to the park on the East side, across Mill Street from the original park. Sunday morning was a great day to capture some of that new area with a nice dramatic sunrise as a backdrop. I also managed a few other views including a nice panoramic view of the barge canal looking East from under the Mill St. bridge.
