Panorama of Bayswater View
My first time at Bayswater was to shoot Wunala in August of 2008.

Looking back at some of my favorites from the spot...

That panorama is AMAZING!
It ain't over yet....
<<The Legislature has voted to restore $11.3 million in parks funding cut from Gov. Paterson's budget proposal. But lawmakers and Paterson have yet to agree on a budget, which is now 47 days late.>>

LOL I love this shot. Like two Rams about to lock horns.
"Yo you better move, I'm bigger than you".
Looks like there is a bill on the table to "reopen" the parks.
"New York Gov. David Paterson introduced legislation Monday to reopen all state parks and fully fund them for the remainder of the state’s fiscal year." We could only hope that Bayswater is reopened!!!
Anyone else catch wind of this today? I heard about this on the news on Sunday night (May 23rd).
Just read this. Sounds promising...Bayswater could be open by this weekend it would seem.Quote:

Down here in Charlotte, we also have an overlook maintained my Charmeck, which is still open. Hopefully I can get to Bayswater if it opens when I come up to NY this June/very early July to spot.
Regarding the panorama, I'm very disappointed. I expect a 600mm (go rent one!) gigapan out of you next time :P
I too would love to see Bayswater open again. I can't say that I have any particularly special memory there, but shooting 747's head on in the morning as they turn onto 4L is absolutely unforgettable.

Yea I got nothing from bayswater either. I'm hoping to make some memories though if it reopens :borat: and once I get a new camera.
UPDATE:
If the legislature passes a bill today transferring $74 million from the Environmental Protection Fund to the parks, they will reopen this weekend!
AND THEY'RE BACK!
Bayswater and all the other closed parks will be open this weekend and the rest of the summer!
AWESOME news!!!!! I almost feel like I had a gun pointed at my head from 6 inches away, and woke up the following day after the ordeal knowing I was fine and life was good. Maybe one day I'll post that story in the spotter blotter though it had nothing to do with photography. Anyway, it's great to have Bayswater back!
Think Im gonna cry :))
