chimney bluffs

Chimney Bluffs State Park on Lake Ontario. Pretty freaking amazing. Lake Ontario would have been amazing in and of itself, even if there weren't giant spires of rock and dirt bursting out of the shoreline. Trying to capture the scale of these spires is impossible. In one of the pictures above, if you squint, you can see little people along the shore. When you're on top of these bluffs, you're unbelievably high up.

Today was a horrible day for pictures though, the light was way too strong and with all those odd ridges it created all this strange (unwanted) shadows everywhere. Whatever. It was fantastic just to be there. Although as sunset approached I got my daily headache. And then the sun, the sound of the water, it was all to much to handle so I had to leave. Ugh. I wish that shit would stop.

It's funny, as I was driving to the bluffs I kept thinking, "this looks familiar." And when I got there I remembered that I have been there before; 3 years ago when Dan, Lindsay, Morgan and I were in the Outing Club for *a* night. I found the beach that they built a bonfire and the rocks that the four of us wandered off to. I sat there and felt nostalgic. Heh, we barely knew each other back then. Look at us now...
