Taken with the Nikon D-90 and the 18-105 mm nikkor lens 04/09
The rainbow really makes this spot look magical

PJS15204 replied
And you were definitely right I want to thank you very much for the great idea I had to take my bro in law to the rochester airport yesterday and Letchworth came to mind I hit the park at a really good time :)

Glad you enjoyed it…hopefully I will get up during the summer for a visit…hopefully for a week full or action for the camera…just can’t get enough….I also came across a link for the Montezuma Wildlife preserve (could be all spelled wrong) that is some place between Syracuse and Rochester….don’t know much else but looks very interesting.
PJS15204 replied
I most definitely did :)
Montezuma Wildlife preserve is just a few miles down the road for me its a drive through preserve and is very popular with wildlife and bird photographers be armed with your zoom :)

PJS15204 replied
Thanks so much for commenting :) I watched the rainbow appear like magic and it took me a couple mins to setup the shot but it turned out great the best in the series imo :) thanks again :)
Karen Helgesen
WOW! Eye popping! I am glad your Packer shirt caught my eye in someone else’s comment section ( a Backyard Photography feature image )....we are originally from WI. and are huge Packer fans! So, now you know that you have two things that make life worth living…a great eye and a Packer shirt!
PJS15204 replied
Hi Karen :) Thanks for your kind honest words :)
Although I can totally relate to Wisconsin being a great place ( i used to work there ) Its a Steelers jersey (It really resembles the Packers with the same color stripes :)
I’ll never hold it against you your team is your team and we both love football :)
Karen Helgesen
Unbelievable! This is my second mistake today! That too was a case of mistaken identity! I better be more certain before making broad generalizations based solely on the color of a shirt or the reading the word “Northern”....he was Canadian! I assumed he was from the Frozen Tundra just like yourself!
I could start a war here on RB!! Thanks for writing back! I forgive you for being a Steelers fan ( or maybe you aren’t?....)
Have a day filled with fabulousity!!.....Karen

I know all about Packers fans they are die hard in their loyalty and thats a great thing :) My Steelers won the Superbowl this year and I was there from training camp all the way to Tampa when we won it all !
The Packers have done this too winning it 3 times and earned their very loyal fan base :)
Jan Fijolek

Looks like something from fantasy, could imagine a unicorn in that scenery superb capture- Love it! :D
PJS15204 replied
Zach this is probably my favorite of my own work its really cool that you cant see the origins of a rainbow but its there :). just over the wall is a huge gorge and waterfall that is generating it I’m glad that you liked it thanks for your nice comments :)

This is beautiful, we fly into New York JFK on the 18th, is this Park far from there ??
PJS15204 replied
Hello Ann :) Unfortunately Letchworth is south of the Rochester area completely on the other side of the state. It would however merit its own trip it would be a great place to vacation :)
Thanks for the kind words :)
