    Sundays' 'Super moon' rising from the ocean. Taken from the main road to Orewa Beach Auckland outside my place at 11.15 pm. Was twice as big when I first saw it, but by the time I got my camera sorted it had reduced in size. Only reason I caught it, was that I went up to the road to see what the odd light was, - thought something was on fire !

    Saw the same thing last year about this time while down at the beach, looks amazing.

    Rob,
    I assume that's not snow on those rocks? LOL

    So far my collection resembles "The Island of Misfit Toys". I've picked up several boats that are old builds and have been neglected. I'm giving them the TLC they need, hoping to bring them back to their former glory. Once I get enough practice/ experience I intend to take on a full build.

    Corning is a must-see even for non-technical persons. I watched glassworkers from the gallery. They insert a pontil rod into the open furnace & extract a glowing blob of molten glass, then form it into things such as $$$$$ paperweights. Don't be thinking you can purchase something inexpensive in the "giftshop", take a hi-limit creditcard with you. But it is worth the trip to see 13th century technology in operation.

    DW my sister-in-law is on Canandaigua Lake so she'll investigate a bit, but these come to mind right away...

    - Letchworth State Park, "The Grand Canyon of the East" A+
    - Corning Glass Museum, a personal favorite, fantastic place!
    - Watkins Glen State Park, gorgeous
    - Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse
    - Wineries in PennYan on the Keuka Lake Wine Trail
    - Three Brothers Winery in Geneva, never been, but folks like it
    - Seneca Lake Drive is super nice.
    - Ontario Antique Mall in Farmington. Huge place 30,000 sq ft,
    another favorite of mine. Awesome if you like to browse.

    That's a good start. If you get down as far as the Catskills you have to drop in the cabin! More to follow. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Jump,
    Next August, we are traveling with several other Miatas, taking the northern route around the Great Lakes to Ottawa for a Miata Convention.
    After that, some of us plan to head down into the Finger Lakes area (sort of) near you on our way home.
    Do you have any "must see" suggestions for when we are in the general area?

    We spent the final days, before we had to make the long boring drive home, in the Colorado Rockies. Two days after these shots, some of these roads were closed for the season by a snowstorm.

    Nothing against eastern Colorado and all of Nebraska, but they just go on FOREVER.

    Next, we ventured To Glen Canyon Dam (creates Lake Powell reservoir), and Antelope Canyon formations.
