So here are the results. 30 pictures.
Click on the thumbnail images to get larger ones (around 100-300K). Click on the "huge" link to get the full size pictures (around 3M). 30 pictures included.
I also went on a hike at Buttermilk Falls State Park later that day, and those pictures are on a subsequent web page.

The first two pictures were taken while standing on one side of the entrance to the marina (the south side), looking north. In the distance, you can see the red and white markers that indicate the end of the inlet and start of the lake. The last shot is of a tree nearby.

These three pictures are just of the general area between
Ithaca and Binghamton. While it was a little hazy, it was
still quite pretty with all the fall colors.

These next three pictures are of the Binghampton airport, as we were vectored around to for an ILS 16 approach (landing towards the south east, which was more or less the direction we were heading anyway). The airport has two runways, that cross each other diagonally.

The runway is getting closer. And closer. And the displaced threshold of Runway 16 is pretty clearly visible in the last one.

The big white area before the runway starts is the overrun area, for someone landing in the opposite direction. The second shot is after we took off and made our first turn away from the airport. And the last one is the second approach.

Again, about to land on Runway 16 with the overrun area visible. And then just about to cross the landing threshold. The propeller is also visible in the second picture, it was turning slowly enough to get captured in the picture.

Once again, after we took off again, heading northwest about to start back to Ithaca.

The Ithaca airport, on a right downwind for runway 32. Followed by a shot as we're about to turn on the right base left for runway 32. And a shot of the colorful trees below.

On right base leg for runway 32. The a shot of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Sapsucker woods, which is just beyond the airport. And finally, on final approach, lined up to land on runway 32.

And on short final, runway 32. The approach lights are visible.
Next up, photos of the fall colors at Buttermilk Falls State Park.
