Sabres vs Blue Jackets

Got tickets for the Sabres vs Blue Jackets game on October 27th. The Sabres were able to take the lead in the third period to win. Here's some pictures that I took:

Waterport Falls

This was a unique waterfalls near Lake Ontario, just east of Fort Niagara. This was located next to an old hydro plant that had a small lake under it. There were many fishermen fishing there and catching either big salmon or bass. The waterfalls itself was flowing strongly.

Here's some pictures I took of the Waterport Falls...

Turning Point in the fall

This is the second Turning Point Park post. I went there again in the fall, but it still wasn't peak for the fall foliage. Once again, this park is north of Rochester and has a boardwalk that juts into the Genesee River. The bridge or boardwalk is 3,572 ft-long and winds along side the banks of the river. It is a scenic walk in all the warm seasons and is a great place to take a camera.

Here's a site that talks about Turning Point Park...

Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse

There is a historic lighthouse called Thirty Mile Point lighthouse, that is around 30 miles east of Fort Niagara, at the beginning of the Niagara River as it empties into Lake Ontario. It is in the town of Somerset, New York. It was built in 1875. A couple links about the history of this light house:

Here are some pictures that I took of the vintage lighthouse on the shores of Lake Ontario.

Williamsville Billies football

When Joe Licata left for UB, it was thought that this would definitely be a rebuilding year for the Williamsville South Billies. Not only did Licata leave, but two great receivers and a running back also left, depleting a powerful offense.

I figured that it would not be a good year to see any of my alma mater Billies games. Boy was I wrong! Not only are the Billies still winning, 6-0 now, but they have another big quarterback who can not only throw as good as Licata, but he can also run. The quarterback is Trent Ferguson, a 6-3 junior that has all the promise of another Licata...and so much more.

Trent Ferguson releases the ball against the East Flames.

Ferguson uses is feet as much as his arm. Here he takes off towards the endzone.

Billies mix up the game with a good ground attack.

Trent Ferguson puts a tight spiral on his passes.

Ferguson hands off to his running back to runs around left end.

UB's Educational Opportunity Center

The University of Buffalo is expanding its presence in the Buffalo Medical Corridor with the construction of new buildings near Buffalo General Hospital and Roswell Park. The latest construction project is erecting a new Educational Opportunity Center next to the M. Wyle Building on Goodell Street. It will be completed in 2012. Here are some pictures I took of the construction...
