This shot looking east all the way down Delaware Park Lake toward Delaware Avenue and Forest Lawn Cemetery was an afterthought. There was just something about the view that I liked.

I had been planning this shot of the Delaware Park Casino for about a month. I wanted to get a clean time exposure when the surface of the lake was relatively calm to provide a good reflection from the other side of the lake. The Delaware Park Casino started life as an 1874 boathouse design. After being enlarged because of its popularity, it was destroyed in a 1900 fire. As the Pan-American Exposition site was just across the lake, it was rebuilt into a new three story building in time for the Exposition's 1901 opening. In 1960 the Casino was modernized, which erased most traces of Buffalo architect E.B. Green's 1900 design. In 1990 the Casino was again renovated, but this time it was "backdated" to better reflect more of the style of its earlier incarnations.

Buffalo's Central Terminal was abandoned by Amtrak in 1979 and fell victim to looters and vandals in the 1980s and 1990s. In the late 1990s the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation was formed to preserve the building. Great strides have been made since then, but no firm plan for adaptive re-use has yet emerged.

View north on the Niagara River toward the International Bridge from the foot of Ferry Street on Squaw Island. The International Railway Bridge carries a single track railroad line owned by Canadian National (CN) and also used by Canadian Pacific (CP) across the Niagara River between Fort Erie, Ontario and the Black Rock neighborhood of Buffalo, New York. It was built in 1873. Until shortly after the formation of Conrail in 1976, there was a fairly busy railroad yard at Black Rock. The twin smokestacks behind the middle of the bridge are for the coal fired Huntley Generating Station.

The Liberty Bank Building "twins" perched 300 feet above Buffalo's downtown sidewalks. Contrary to popular wisdom, these 30 foot tall ladies are not scale replicas of the Statue of Liberty. We wanted to shoot them from one more angle, but to our chagrin, we found out that they turn the lights off at midnight. We'll try again another time.
