The Oswego Lighthouse

The Oswego lighthouse has quite a history (See "The Lighthouse Digest") I love taking photographs of it because it continually presents a new & different image each time I see it. The changes in sky, the lake and the seasons all provide an infinite variety of backgrounds. More lighthouse photos further down the page

Sunday, January 20, 2013 - Winter Storm

While there was little snow (at least so far) the wind is putting a bit of a chop on the lake. Some photos from this morning; (More here)

Saturday, September 29, 2012 - The 21st CNY Pumpkin Festival

It has been awhile since I have updated this page - I've been travelingaround the US for the last 4 1/2 months. This year's Pumpkinfest broke records - The largest pumpkin in the 21 year history of the Pumpkin Festival, and even better, A New York & United States record Squash @ 1221.5 lbs!

More photos at the link above.

Saturday, September 29, 2012 - Fort Ontario Reenactment

During the shooting at the Pumpkinfest weigh in I could hear cannons going off at the fort. After the weigh in I drove over to the fort & walked through what looked to be a Cival War reenactment. While they were done firing cannons, I did get a few photos:

Saturday, October 1, 2011 The 20th CNY Pumpkin Festival

Sunday, March 6, 2011 - Spring?

Well we did have two days of warm, sunny weather, but the only sign of spring here in Oswego is the flooding of Lakeshore Road. Even Rudys isn't open yet!

Friday, November 25th, 2010 - Some new photos of the Oswego Lighthouse:

Well, the waves are still crashing today (the 27th) but rather than more of the lighthouse, here is a wave created rainbow:

Lots of things happening this weekend & next. The Salmon River Fish Hatchery held an Open House on Saturday, September 25th. More information & photos

I stopped on my way back from the fish hatchery and Salmon River Falls at Mexico Point Park. I have passed the sign for the park many times on 104B, but never drove to the end of the road. It was well worth the stop. The park itself is beautiful, and an added attraction is Casey's Cottage.

The 19th CNY Great Pumpkin Fest - October 2nd & 3rd, 2010

Well it isn't really Oswego (although the Oswego Town Fire Department was there) but here is a link to photos from the Fairhaven 4th of July Parade.

I have not updated this page in quite awhile, but now is the time! The Festival of Sail is coming to Oswego June 25 - June 27. This is your chance to tour a Tall Ship, go for a sail on Lake Ontario in the Lynx, or just enjoy a weekend at the festival. I have more information & more photos of the festival at my Festival of Sail Thursday page.
