Two weeks ago I had been out cycling along the Niagara Parkway and had stopped at
a point along the gorge where there are almost always lots of turkey vultures
soaring and you can often see them roosting in the trees. I had taken my new SLR
digital camera with me and snapped some photos. When I got home I was sitting on
the patio previewing my pictures and hear a familiar sounding roar in the air.
Sure enough it was the one and only flying Lancaster in the country flying right
over my house. I managed to get a few pictures of it.
