Birdseye Views, Part One

by | Nov 17, 2013 | birdseye, Erie Canal, Port Byron, Syracuse and Eastern, trolley

Bill Hecht sent along the early “birdseye” looking west along the Enlarged Erie. It should be called a “hillseye” as the photographer is standing on the hill to the east of the village, a favorite spot for many photographers. The newer birdseye, looks west along the new Rochester, Syracuse and Eastern Interurban line.

After I posted the top two, Bill sent along this version of the birdseye. You will notice it is a tad different then the other trolley version.
