These are some of my very favorite images that I have captured in and around the Fingerlakes Region of Upstate, NY! The Fingerlakes is home to some of the country's finest wineries, which offer tours and tastings! It is one of the most beautiful areas of NY State, from several State Parks with gorges from the Ice Age, to some of the finest scenery around!
This is one of my favorite winter photos from the Fingerlakes Region. This is a winter sunset at Chimney Bluffs State Park along the shores of Lake Ontario in Upstate NY!
