October 8, 2006:  A dramatic oxbow in the Genesee River observed near sunset.

October 8, 2006:  Middle Falls, Letchworth State Park. 

February 3, 2007:  Well, I think I have photos of Middle Falls from pretty much every season now...

March 11, 2007:  The Genesee River doing that meandering thing through the northern part of Letchworth State Park.

March 11, 2007:  Anyone who has spent time on my website knows that I have a thing for ground features framed by clouds.  Here's a great example of an oxbow in the Genesee River near the north end of Letchworth State Park.

May 26, 2007:  As I flew over this portion of Letchworth on a dry spring day, I was struck by the texture of the canyon walls, accentuated by the position of the late morning sun.

May 26, 2007:  Mount Morris dam, Mount Morris, NY.

January 3, 2009:  The crimson sunset and accumulated snow worked together to highlight fine detail in the wall of the northern gorge.

 

January 4, 2009:  At the right of frame is the "Archery Overlook", where ground-based visitors to the canyon get an incredible view of the gorge at its deepest.

January 4, 2009:  The Glen Iris Inn (far right) glowed in the sunrise, but Middle Falls remained in the shadow of the river gorge.  Temperatures were hovering around 10°F that morning when I left the ground and the trees nearest the 107 foot waterfall were visibly frosted with mist rising from the river basin. 

January 4, 2009:  Another angle on the Glen Iris Inn and Middle Falls taken from 2500' AGL at maximum zoom on the camera, which kept me and my airplane well out of the freezing moisture rising from the waterfall.

January 4, 2009:  This is the gorge wall just downstream from Middle Falls.  We didn't have sheer rock walls like this where I grew up.  Mist in the foreground is rising from the base of the waterfall.
