I decided to take my camera with me as I went on a fairly
brief bike ride around Cayuga Heights and vicinity (some might also
count as the Village of Lansing). A lot of this was around the areas
where all the streets are named Highgate or Highland, with a Circle,
Place, and Road as a prefix. There actually are multiple
different intersections of Highland Circle and Highland Place so
navigation is more a matter of winding up somewhere interesting.
I thought I might go by some waterfalls, but instead found other things.
It was a bit awkward riding with the camera around my shoulder, always
trying t roll off my back and hang down in front of me swinging by
the handlebars.

000-DSC_4322-header: Cairns of Cayuga (Heights)
000-DSC_4322-headertext:
I spotted a stack of rocks at the end of a lot next to the street. I stopped and went back and realized there were a few of them. They looked like they'd be cook in black and white, or rather sepia tone. 000-DSC_4322: Cairn number one. 001-DSC_4323: Another with a sort of bench bridge for ants. 002-DSC_4325: Another as a mid-level shot. 003-DSC_4327: An almost ground-level shot. 004-DSC_4326: Here's another view of the last picture in living color! 005-DSC_4328: And across the street, with all for in one place. 006-DSC_4329: This is a house a few blocks away that has nothing to do with cairns. But it looks imprssive with quite a large front yard. The grass was more green than yellow as shown in the picture. 007-DSC_4331-header: Magic Secret Mystery Path 007-DSC_4331-headertext:
This is a path that goes behind the Savanah Park Apartments off of Triphammer and connects to one of the Highland/Highgate roads or circles or places in Cayuga Heights via some sort of transdimensional warp. I took some pictures of the trees around the area while enjoying the shade. 007-DSC_4331: The path looking uphill (east). 008-DSC_4332: Some trees on the edge of the path with a little silhouette action going on. 009-DSC_4336: Looking up at a tree with so many little freaky arms. 010-DSC_4337: A Groot tree. Here's my line drawing of it. 011-DSC_4338: 012-DSC_4340: An upside down 3 legged tree, with the sun poking through at the top. 013-DSC_4345: The remains of a wooden fence. 014-DSC_4346: Looking up at the trees. 015-DSC_4349: Looking up at hte trees with a little lighter colors and the sun poking through. 016-DSC_4353: One of my favorites of the bunch: looking up at the trees with a starburst sun at the top. I didn't want to look at the sun through the viewfinder (again and again) so I aimed at the trees, then tilted the camera up to catch the sun without looking at it.
