Description
Keuka Lake is calm a few minutes before the sun rises above the distant hills. This was taken from a lakeside park in the little village of Hammondsport in the Finger Lakes area of Upstate New York about 50 miles south of Rochester. Hammondsport was the home of Edward Curtis, an aviation pioneer who once held the speed record for a motorcycle. He often tested his airplanes by flying them over Keuka Lake. Hammondsport is also the home of Taylor Wine Company, a producer of champagnes and table wines. The vineyards on the hills above Keuka Lake support several local wineries. The name Keuka was taken from the old local Indian language and means "crooked"; the lake is shaped like a Y. There are several Finger Lakes in this area of Upstate New York and this lake is certainly one of if not the most beautiful of them.
