    On vacation in the Finger Lakes, yesterday we kayaked the Cayuga-Seneca Canal. I thought it was a terrible waste of energy for them to operate the lock twice just for us, but it was a pretty cool experience.

        The ducks did not enter the lock with us. Someone told me later that the operation of the locks uses no electric power. Hydraulics, I guess. I’ll have to research it. I honestly have no idea how they work.

                    I rode the bike up to Cleveland last week for a work session at the VA hospital and though the ride up on Monday was wet and the GPS made the ride back on Friday very sucky, I got out for some pictures.

                          Interesting bug. Google says it's a Luna Moth caterpillar.



                          I was sitting on a rock in the woods and the damn thing appeared out of nowhere. I thought I was trippin.

                            Seeing this again.... Nice.... caught the lighting on the raised bridge and reflection in water.
                            And now I see the boat/mast passing thru.
                            Interesting, lines and shapes.

                              Maybe could be a "went for ride". But not much of a ride story. Just out for morning ride and coffee stop. Was gonna then go out for wildlife shots in a marshy area, so had the longer tele on.
                              But noticed was a bit breezy and waves splashing on the pier, and sun still in good direction. And blue sky made for being able to see the splash (with proper exposure, so used manaul exposure).


                              Maybe you have seen this scene before, but this with the longer tele (300mm zoom at about 200, on half size sensor camera, so 400mm equivilant).
                              I had to walk way back away from the bike.

                              For reference, the light houses are about 600ft apart from each other on the pier. ANd the bike is 2500 feet, so about half mile, from the bigger lighthouse.

                              I have posted such picture on local FB group, and get questions from local people confused because they cant think of where there is an anchor like that close to the pier.

                              For purposes of an image, I would have liked to edit out the bench, and that big orange warning pole, and the parking sign. But the big orange warning pole things (are 8 of them along the beach) are recently installed, so it somewhat dates the photo. And the other things help identifies/document the location.

                              I didnt notice the surfer in the photo (in front of bike windscreen) untill later a few hours later.

                                This from over 7000 ft away, so about 1 1/4 mile, looking down the channel from up on a hill.



                                You might ask why I didnt go park bike in there. Well the nearist places (this side of fence) would have been inside the Coast Guard station. ANd the next place is a city park "authorised vehical only" and were some city trucks nearby, and was kinda far to walk, when I was trying to get around to a couple other locations yet.
