Western New York State

Thirty-four digital and film photos from the area where I now live. They are organized by season, starting with winter, and they include such famous places as Letchworth State Park and Watkins Glen State Park. There are additional scenic photos from western New York State in my Thousand Acre Swamp and Erie Canal galleries.
