Lake Ontario, from the New York shore

Tim wanted to see Lake Ontario, also called Lake America by some people in the US as ordered by Trump, so we took a ride up to Old Fort Niagara, located at the mouth of the Niagara River and the lake.

There’s a freighter far off in the distance, as well as some very faint buildings in the Canadian province of Ontario to the left of it.

A lake that is like an ocean and it shall always be known as Lake Ontario! V

Let the baby have his bottle. But for us adults it's Lake Ontario.

It is Lake Ontario to me, too! It is a vast waterway, like looking at the ocean, a feeling you have captured well! V

It's Lake Ontario to me, just as it has been for centuries. Fall is in the air.
