These are magnificent! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Wonderful photos!  :bow:

I think you had a great spot for pics Lou.  :foxbinocs: :thanks2: :coolphotos:

Thank you Dana and Lou!  Awsome pics!   :clap:

For those of you who don't know, this building is also called (by the Watchers) the old Changing Scenes Restaurant.  Mariah and Kaver used this building quite frequently.

Great album, Lou.  I especially liked the shots of the nestbox that put its location in such good perspective.  It is so much more exposed than the nestbox cameras show.  Kenn (?) must have VERY steady nerves to crawl into the box on his back up there!

 :bravo: :the_wave:   Great job Lou and Dana!   :clap: :mbanana:

Now I know why Steve Jobs and Adobe don't get along  :crying:
I HAVE the latest version of Flash that my computer will support, and it apparently doesn't support THIS album  :dead:
At least the two photos of the area in the Imprints post show me where the box is...

Adobe's Flash software has become a favourite among hi-tech criminals

Adobe has fixed a "critical" security flaw that had the potential to allow hackers to take control of affected computer systems.

The bug was first spotted in early June week following a small number of targeted attacks.

The security update is one in a bumper update package that fixes a total of 32 documented vulnerabilities.

Adobe's Flash and Reader software have emerged as prime targets for hi-tech criminals in the past year.

Users running Windows, Macintosh or Linux were all thought to be vulnerable to attack.

Security firm Websense said the flaw was being exploited via e-mails that prompted recipients to open booby-trapped websites seeded with malware.

Users visiting the websites would have their computers infected with trojans and other malicious programs that opened a backdoor into the machine.

Adobe urged users to apply the update as soon as possible.

Adobe said it would release an update at the end of June for its Reader and Acrobat programs which addresses a similar bug that makes it possible to booby-trap PDFs.

Adobe is reportedly considering patching its applications more frequently after a quarterly update cycle for its Acrobat and Reader programmes last year.

In 2009, Adobe announced an aggressive programme to beef up security after hackers increasingly focused on finding holes in its products.

'Huge release'

The security update came in the release of version 10.1 of the Flash player.

"Don't let the version number fool you! Flash Player 10.1 is more than a 'dot upgrade'," said Paul Betlem of Adobe's Flash Player engineering team.

Mr Betlem said the update was a "monumental undertaking" that made significant changes to the architecture of the software.

Adobe estimates that more than 95% of computers worldwide have Flash Player installed. Many sites use it to show off multimedia content such as videos and games.

Wired called the latest release "significant" and said the underlying code has been largely re-written to address the platform's key shortcomings, most notably battery problems and security issues.

"This is obviously a huge release for Adobe, as it comes at a time when the company is under attack for its platform's pitfalls," said Michael Calore at Wired.

Chief among Flash's critics is Apple boss Steve Jobs who wrote an open letter explaining why he refused to have Flash on products such as the iPhone and iPad.

He claimed that it was "the number one reason why Macs crash."

There used to be a way to get into the album without going directly to the slideshow (which is where the flash conflict happens)...let me put on my thinking cap...

Maybe classic?

Yup-that's it...I just don't remember how to do it.

Thanks, guys  :happy:
I will try a few more ideas tonight when I get home from work.

I put the album in my Kodak Gallery. Here's the link:

Lou

Outstanding pictures (as always!)  I finally really have a good idea of where everything is.  I think the top of First Federal will be the place to be to look for wayward fledglings!

Thanks so much, Lou, that worked perfectly.
What a great setup the box is!  And Rochester is really quite a pretty city  :happy:

Wow!  and Wow again!  Great, great shots and I now can see everything!  Wonderful!  Where is (which direction) is Lake Ontario?

North

You took the words right out of my mouth, Ei!   :hysterical:

Now, that I provided the laugh of the day  ;), I meant in relation to the fabulous skyline pic that showed Kodak, Powers, etc (one of the early pictures).

Kodak, Powers, High Falls etc. are north of Times Square...so Lake Ontario is over that horizon.

Hey piggy. Kodak is on State St. which if you follow it north it turns into Lake Ave. and ends at Lake Ontario. OK? :wave:

Thanks!  That big lake is one of the few "local" items that I can get a clear mental image of.  Now, I can essentially point an arrow north to the lake from TS bldg.

I loved Lk Ontario when I was there. I could have spent all day there. (Snort)

Here's a map... Falcon landmarks (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=h&msa=0&msid=113971923413246279064.00046b277dfa2d0212e58&z=12)

Not this year, but we plan to go back to Niagara on the Lake - wine and water, who could ask for more?   ;)

Actually, Times Square building is on same road as Kodak only at that end it's called Exchange St..  I think they do that just to confuse people. :confused:  One road should have one name! Janet have you never been to Rochester? :gum:

Great shots of banding day and of the city, Lou!   :clap:
They'd make great Chamber of Commerce postcards.  Thank you for posting them.

Nope - timing has never worked out - made it to the Falls and the Glen last year.
