this photo shows a few passions of mine. Photography, the site of my childhood hometown (now under water), & my bike
Flooding? Or has the water level risen permanently?the site of my childhood hometown (now under water),
NY city destroyed the whole town and several others to flood this valley. Completely flooded by late 1963. Cannonsville, Rock Royal, Granton, Beerston, Rock Rift all gone.Flooding? Or has the water level risen permanently?
I've never heard of such a thing. How depressing.NY city destroyed the whole town and several others to flood this valley. Completely flooded by late 1963. Cannonsville, Rock Royal, Granton, Beerston, Rock Rift all gone.
Lovely memorial flower pot with brilliant colorsAngel & Sammie's memorial flower pot.
Nice shot.Man made lake at a state park
NY city did this to many more communities. They have 19 reservoirs for drinking water. Many people sacrificed their homes so they could have water. The power of eminent domain....I've never heard of such a thing. How depressing.
Nice place and nice shot.Cannonsville Reservoir
Lovely scenes and good shot of last photo.Here are a few from a vacation back in the 90's.
Those were taken with my old film SLR camera, that I really miss. Now I just have an old point & shoot digital one. Someday, though, I hope to buy a DSLR.Lovely scenes and good shot of last photo.
You did very well with the film camera. As for digital cameras, much less mistakes.Those were taken with my old film SLR camera
Just ask the Seneca Nation about the Kinzua Dam that flooded thousands of acres of their land, destroying whole villages.I get that people need drinking water, but it still seems sad to bury towns under water.
And since this is a "photo" thread, I should probably post a picture, right.

Thank you. I originally had a nice small blue hydrangea for Angel, but it did really well for 2 yrs, then just died out. (The weather stayed nice for so long here in NC, that by time I brought it in that last Dec. It was still full of blooms) but went downhill from there, so after having to move bk to my parents last June, I put these in for Angel & Sammie.Lovely memorial flower pot with brilliant colors

Lovely!Unusual cloud-glow after sunset here in Belgium, about half an hour ago.
That's a pretty good shot of the web with water droplets on it!I actually took this photo in March. It's a pretty resilient spider that spins a web this early in spring!
