Letchworth
On May 22, 2005 I spent a few hours in Letchworth State Park. We weren't planning on being there for very long but the short trip quickly became a long hike through spectacular scenery.
I took over one hundred pictures of various things while there. My pictures ranged from shots of walls, to people, my feet and of course nature. I don't think these pictures or any others do the sights much justice but I couldn't resist putting a few out there.

This picture was the first area I found. I couldn't help but stand in the river bed to snap a few pictures of the water as it moved along. |
This is the lowest of the three falls along the river. It's appropriately called Lower Falls. This is taken from a foot bridge over the water. |

I spotted a hole in one of the walls and couldn't help myself. I assume the holes in the walls are to prevent flooding in the walkways but I used it to take a picture of the river as it began to calm again. |
This is another picture of the Lower Falls. This was the end of a trail. Had I continued further the big bad park ranger would come get me. I decided to take this picture and retreat. |

This picture, taken from a location known as Inspiration Point, shows both the Middle and Upper Falls in the distance. Here you can also see how the Genesee River has cut through this gorge. |
Here is a closer view of the Upper Falls. Above the Upper Falls you can see a Pennsylvania Railroad bridge crossing. |

Finally, a closer shot of the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge. This bridge is still in use today as I found out about twenty minutes after taking this picture. A train blew its whistle and moved very slowly across. |
