Rochester

~My latest travels recently brought me to the lakeside city of Rochester in New York, home of Kodak.  Here are some pictures I took while I was there:

The Council, by Bill Stewart, 1991.  This strange sculpture is in the Rochester airport, and is based on Inuit art.

Another unusual piece of work in the Rochester airport: a clock surrounded by domed flags of several nations.  The signs in front of each flag tell a traditional story from that country.

Below are pictures from a military exhibit at the airport.  It was a neat collection of models and artifacts from various wars:

Edward Mott Moore, by Thomas Hudson Jones, 1927.  Moore was a surgeon in Rochester who was known as the "Father of the Rochester Park System". As president of the Park Commission, he developed the city's public green spaces.  Appropriately, this sculpture is in the Genesee Valley Park.

A grove of trees in Genesee Valley Park.

The Genesee River, which crosses the Erie Canal.  There were a few members of the University of Rochester crew team out practicing.
