First Wonder: Shoe Tree |
The Great Shoe Tree of Lakeside Road |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This particular shoe has been assimilated into the actual DNA structure of the tree, making it a true symbiotic organism. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The shoes apparently filter impurities from the air, converting them into food which the tree then uses to survive. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In return, the tree provides a home for the shoes, up high and safe from predators. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike the leaves on most deciduous trees, the shoes are in bloom all year long. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note the fully ripened shoe which is nearly ready for harvesting. |

Second Wonder: The Culvert |
The sign pretty much speaks for itself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It really is the only road in it's entire length which passes under the Erie Canal, making it the pride of Orleans County. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It does leak, so be careful when passing beneath. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the point on the canal under which the Culvert travels |

A Fox: No wonder at all |
This isn't one of the seven wonders, I just threw this in because I found this fox in a farm field that day. |
