Lake Erie: July 05, 2010

Hawk Cliff: 1:15 PM. Where's the Lake? The cliff edge is about 10 feet behind me. This field of beans stretches North to the trees. The big tree is an Elm - my favorite tree. There are few left now and they rarely make it to maturity because of Dutch Elm Disease, which has been ravaging them for decades. The full, rolling clouds growing into the sky beyond didn't deliver on the promise of a bit of rain to break the heat, if only for a short while.

Hawk Cliff: 1:15 PM. The view of Port Stanley from Hawk Cliff. Yes - really. Port Stanley is the slightly darker smudge across the middle of the image. The berm, tanks, pier and lighthouse are all there. Now you know why I took photos of the fields and trees.
