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

Some Fall Images Around Oswego October 21, 2007

It is Fall in Oswego. Spent a couple of hours at some of my favorite Fall locations:

Started out at the Sterling Nature Center. It's not in Oswego, in fact, not even in Oswego County, but only a couple of miles West.

After the Nature Center, it was off to the Rice Creek Field Station. Owned by the State University of New York at Oswego, the Rice Creek Field Station has many trails, along which are labels for many of the trees & flowers.
