My Water Post For Today.
My final water post from the Upstate area of New York. I end the 2012 year, with it.
A very Happy New Year tonight. See you in 2013. Party responsibly and drive safe.
The Mohawk River carries much of the Erie Canal, at least on the eastern end of NY State.
I was driving from Syracuse to a town called Fonda. On the way, I got off the NY State Thruway and drove back roads starting in a town known as Canajoharie. On the way back, I stopped to take some photos and walked around the river front.
I was lucky, the two waterways come together, just before the bridge and park that I stopped at. So I could see the canal and river confluence and then a lock on the other side of the bridge, where the two waterways are now one.
The lock is on the far side of the river and the elevation change is just past the lock, out of the photo. I really wasn't in a position to get a photo of that area of the river. Though you can see some of it from the Thruway overpass.
I thought it was a beautiful fall photo and I hope you enjoy it.
