The Oswego lighthouse has quite a history (See "The Lighthouse Digest") I love taking photographs of it because it continually presents a new & different image each time I see it. The changes in sky, the lake and the seasons all provide an infinite variety of backgrounds. More lighthouse photos further down the page |

It has been a long time since I updated this page. No excuses, other than I've been traveling quite a bit over the last couple of years. I was in Oswego for the 2017 Harborfest, and have a bunch of pages of the festival:

Well you wouldn't know it by the ice still on the lake or recent temperatures, but it is Spring. Oswego's official sign of Spring is the opening of Rudy's. A few weeks ago you could barely see the building behind the snow banks, but with some payloader work the parking lots are cleared. Not crowded 3 deep as it would be during a warmer opening day, it is still great to stop in for a fish sandwich.
I went back for dinner and it was the usual 3 deep & a 45 minute wait.

The Pumpkin Festival weigh in was on a wet Saturday morning. Watermelons, Tomatos, and, of course, Pumpkins. This year the New York State record for a pumpkin was broken by Karl Haist - 1725.5 pounds! Photos and more information here.
Again, it has been a long time since I've updated my Oswego page. My excuse - I've been away on a long 304 day trip around the country. One of the first things happening after I returned is the 3rd Annual Dragon Festival. Boats with a crew of 22 paddle a 200 meter race. Here are a couple of photos of the preliminaries; more at The Third Annual Oswego Dragon Festival pages.

I have to admit I haven't updated this page in quite awhile - part of the reason is I've been out of town. In any case, Harborfest is here & I'm taking lots of photos of all of it. A link to my Harborfest page.

While there was little snow (at least so far) the wind is putting a bit of a chop on the lake. Some photos from this morning; (More here)

It has been awhile since I have updated this page - I've been traveling around the US for the last 4 1/2 months. This year's Pumpkinfest broke records - The largest pumpkin in the 21 year history of the Pumpkin Festival, and even better, A New York & United States record Squash @ 1221.5 lbs!

During the shooting at the Pumpkinfest weigh in I could hear cannons going off at the fort. After the weigh in I drove over to the fort & walked through what looked to be a Cival War reenactment. While they were done firing cannons, I did get a few photos:

Well we did have two days of warm, sunny weather, but the only sign of spring here in Oswego is the flooding of Lakeshore Road. Even Rudys isn't open yet!
