Seeing Buffalo in a New Light

A friend of mine/ a native buffalonian took me around buffalo to see some of the places we talked about in class Sadly I forgot to bring my camera. There is such a beauty in the old run down ways of the city of buffalo. It gives an erring feeling of greatness lost and its hidden powers that once existed. Seeing the places we talked about in person gave me a new insight into looking at them it was an incredible experience. I love to drive around and explore places that are new to me (even though I have been living in Buffalo for 4 years now) there is so much I am excluded from for being solely and University Student but this drive last night allowed me to feel closer to buffalo and it makes me feel deeply connected to it. There is a feeling buffalo gives me that I never can get from when I am in Rochester. I also was able to venture to the outskirts of Hamburg and found myself on a winterized beach over looking the city skyline. From afar the beauty of the city was breath taking the view made me gasp a little or maybe it was the frigid cold. However standing looking out across lake Erie under a night sky surrounded by snow covered dunes allowed me to connect with a Landscape that has now become home to me.


Pictures soon to follow......
