Rochester NY - More High Falls

This is a shot from the Pont de Rennes Pedestrian Bridge using the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens.


























Here is the Pont de Rennes Pedestrian Bridge at High Falls, looking towards the west bank of the Genesee River.

























A street named Browns Race runs through the High Falls heritage area. Browns Race follows the original path of a power canal constructed in 1815. The power canal today drives a hydroelectric turbine for Rochester Gas and Electric.

Rochester NY - Lunchtime Outting to High Falls


An excellent source for more High Falls information is http://www.centerathighfalls.org/walking/index.htm . The first picture is of the Genesee River High Falls with a back drop of downtown Rochester.



























The Kodak Office tower, originally built in 1914 with additional floors and the distinctive roof added in 1930, is adjacent to the High Falls area.




































This is a view looking northeast'ish to the Genesee Brewery on the east bank of the Genesee River. The windows are from the renovated shell of a building that housed a 19th century water wheel.
