Summer Night on the Erie Canal

This was taken in August of 1997, when Jimmy Macs was still in this location. Now I think it's called The Port. This is a nice place to enjoy a drink and dinner, outdoors in the nice warm twilight of August.... (click for larger view)

Aerial of Brockport Looking East


This aeriel image of Brockport looking east, captures a lot of detail... you can see the city of Rochester at the horizon about 1/3 from the right corner, Kodak park in the middle, and Lake Ontario to the left. You can also find the Soldier's Monument in the woods just above the old Owens factory site. I love that it shows how the canal curves around the village... Taken June of 1998. (click for larger view)
