The Lockport Cave and Underground Boat Ride Tour walking on the towpath to the entrance of the Cave / Raceway Tunnel and the Spring Lake Winery Exclusive Wine & Vineyard Express Excursion Train.
This is not a professional undertaking, I am still learning how to use the new camera and the new tripod and I have made some errors. But the combination of all three elements will not happen again for some time.
