GORGEOUS! I've been to all 3 of those lovely places...such beauty to be found in NYS. Thanks for sharing these, Michele!

Beautiful work, Rose and Michele!

I took these a few mile from my home in Old Forge, NY.

Thanks Michele for posting you Finger Lakes photos. I have not been there but sure would love to. David nice photos from your neck of the woods.
Here is one of my best photos from Long Island . This is Montauk Point Light house with a moon rise around sunset.

David...thank you for your kind words and for sharing those lovely pictures near Old Forge. I've never been there! Now to Google where it is, which I should already know but I'm quite "Geographically Challenged", I'm sad to say.

Bradford: Lovely image! Lighthouses are one of my favorite things to photograph. Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks, Rose! Southwestern Adirondacks!

Here are a few images from one of my favorite places near me: Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve in Depew, New York ( http://reinsteinwoods.org/ )

Beautiful, Rose!!

Ah, thanks David! We were soooo close to the Adirondacks when we drove through the Tug Hill Plateau while driving from the Thousand Islands (Alexandria Bay) to my husband's home town of Oneida. We hope to take a train to the Adirondacks soon, as my husband did when he was a 'kidlet'. I can't wait to see them...and find lots of waterfalls to photograph!

Lovely work everyone!

Thanks, Michele!

Roy: Lovely photos! OLV used to be my parish when I lived in Lackawanna.

Michele: Love the monochrome used on Taughannock Falls!

New York City present and accounted for! :)

Here are a couple from the State Capitol: (not sure I can upload both to same 'message, but we'll see)

Great images everyone! I've never been to NYC so thanks for sharing those images!

Here are some of the lovely lighthouses in Buffalo:

Rose - we stopped for lunch, I think, and then I made a U-turn to go back to take photo's of the OLV basilica. It was so beautiful inside - and there was no objection to taking photo's - although they'd appreciate not using a flash - and they also asked that any photo's inside not be published/used to make money - they sold images of the inside to raise money for their school - and I respect that. Outside - fair game.

The first image was taken when I was walking along the High Line in the Chelsea area of New York City
The second image is one of the brownstones on a street in Albany NY
The third image is an antique shop in Canandaigua NY which is locate on the Finger Lakes

I took a skyline of New York City and filled it in with scenes and things having to do with NYC. I was pleasantly surprised to find I could use different colors for the lettering and it made it look different enough for each image, giving the customer some choices. There are more in my gallery.

Very creative and well done, Suzanne !



Each year over 8 million visitors from all over the world come to this area on the border between Canada and the United States. There are actually three waterfalls, the American, Bridal Veil and the Canadian or Horseshoe Falls which are collectively known as Niagara Falls. Many say that the best place to view the falls is from the Canadian side where you can see them all from a distant point of view. But I found a fantastic view from one of the lookout points in New York's Niagara Falls State Park. From here I saw the beautiful Niagara River Gorge and the Rainbow Bridge crossing into Canada. I was so close that I could hear the roar, feel the mist and the amazing power of nature as millions of gallons of water rushed ... Over The Edge.

Thanks for sharing, everyone! I wish I could see many of these instead of that stupid tiny icon box....sigh...keep them coming!

Exciting thread. I have a few : ) Will post tomorrow when the boxes aren't popping up.

Mel, stunning view of the Falls! I agree...I think the views from NY are stunning, altho I have yet to see them from the Canadian side. Me and my husband have our 'enhanced licenses' now so I hope to get over to NF Canada to see for myself. I took these aerial views of the Niagara River & surroundings from the tethered balloon ride they used to have there:

Darn, I thought the image errors were supposedly fixed!

The Hudson River Valley of Upstate New York - the place I call " Home"

Yeah! The images ARE back! Soooo lovely everyone. Please keep them coming. Maybe we can get an extension of time for these threads?

Susan Savad, your images really evoke NYC for me! Nice work!

Some various photographs from all over New York.

In awe of the spectacular images in this thread.



Buffalo, NY

Jetson the 2 people in the lower left of your Brooklyn Bridge photo really make the image for me - nice work!

Time for a couple of paintings.

Really enjoying this thread - lots of nice work! Jetson's Roaring Brook Falls and Chris's Morning in New York really jumped out at me as I scrolled through this morning. But then, I'm clearly a sucker for landscapes! :)

EDIT: Does anyone know why the color fidelity is different when i post my images to this thread? These images look very different here than if you go to my page and look at them ...

Wow...some absolutely stunning work here! Thank you all!

Rose,

Please have a few extra days for your thread due to the recent technical issues with images. How about we close now on 8/5?
