Bellamy Harbor Park, Rome, NY

I left for work a little later than usual yesterday. A combination of long hours the previous day and a restless night of sleep had me dragging my feet out the door. It ended up working out for the best. The pre-sunrise sky was full of color and improving by the minute. I didn’t make it very far on my drive before the car was turning toward Bellamy Harbor Park. I know I grab a lot of images at this park but it is close and the conditions are always to my liking… interesting details, water for a reflection and the sun rising in the background. How could I not stop?

I always assumed that Bellamy Harbor Park was part of the city of Rome’s responsibility. I have been giving the city credit for all the good renovation that has occurred over the last few years. It is actually owned by the New York State Canal Corporation. I guess I should be giving credit where credit is due.

The Canal Corporation has been adding a lot to the park on the East side, across Mill Street from the original park. Sunday morning was a great day to capture some of that new area with a nice dramatic sunrise as a backdrop. I also managed a few other views including a nice panoramic view of the barge canal looking East from under the Mill St. bridge.

The sunrise was looking too good yesterday to not stop and attempt to grab an image. On my way out of town I stopped at Bellamy Harbor Park to see what I could capture. The view looking toward the park and down the Barge Canal was not that impressive. All the colors and drama where in the sky looking more North. From the pedestrian bridge over the Mohawk I was able to get the colors I wanted, you only have to live with the power lines in the view…
