Hi!

Will be traveling to Ohio (Chagrin Falls near Cleveland) soon and was wondering if there's any interesting spots in the area: architecture, landscape you name it?

I like to think that there's always something to photograph where ever one goes without having to look to hard to find it. I'm not from that area, but my parents were and I remember trips there to Fairport Harbor with lots of stuff to photograph.

If you're looking for thematic things, try a drive in the direction of Geauga, Lake, or Ashtabula counties ( north and east of CF ). The first is farm country with rolling hills and towns with old town squares. It's also Amish country. Lake and Ashtabula counties have those elements as well as the Lake Erie shoreline. Fairport Harbor is actually a rustic one square mile village that has a light house and is loaded with lots of ordinary things crying out for a camera capture pixels of -- lots of Finnish emigrants settle here so you could explore the cemetary, churches & what's left of the 3 Finn Halls which characterized the town. A visit to Geneava on the Lake, Ashtabula, and even Conneaut could make for a nice day trip of discovery.

Have fun grabbing pixels.
