Buffalo Waterfront

While it is now winter, the Buffalo Waterfront is still an attraction to visitors and area residents alike. Here are some pictures I took in both the summer and winter of the waterfront...

 

Canisius Hockey

I have been to quite a few Canisius Golden Griffin hockey games the past two years. On January 15 of this year, they hosted UConn. However, they lost 4-3. Canisius had taken a 3-2 lead at the beginning of the third, only to lose it when a local kid from Williamsville, Cole Schneider, got a couple goals late in the game. I took some pics of the game, one is a series of quick shots where Canisius scored...

 

 

 

Fireworks over Niagara

There was a huge fireworks display on both sides of the border at Niagara Falls on New Year's Eve. Below are some more of the fireworks over Niagara Falls, along with some night pictures of the American Falls itself and the view of Niagara Falls, Ontario. The first picture is the concert at Queen Victoria Park which featured the group Our Lady Peace, before an estimated 40,000 fans.

 

 

 

 

Happy New Year! 2012!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year 2012!

I went to Niagara Falls, NY, to spend New Year's Eve, and watched the celebration and fireworks shoot over the Falls from Niagara Falls, Ontario. There was a big concert under the big Skylon tower. When the clock struck midnight, fireworks exploded above and also from the Sylon Tower itself. It was a great scene and would have been even better if a ball dropped from the tower, which is 775 feet above the Falls.

Here are some pictures I took at the Falls during the celebration of the New Year...

 

 

 

 The Skylon Tower, above, exploded with light and sound at the stroke of midnight.

Christmas lights

It's always fun to drive around the neighborhood and see all the Christmas light decorations on houses. Took a drive Christmas evening and captured a few of these scenes:
