So for sharing purposes I messed with the watermark in Photoshop. Its still there, but now its not so annoying. It is an interesting picture in that Turtle Beach is under construction. I'd be interested to learn if there are other pictures floating around from this photo session. Enjoy.

I've contacted the seller previously about other aerials of the park and he said that is the only one he has. That having been said I did find another company that specialized in aerial photography who is selling another photo of Geauga Lake from a different angle (and year): http://www.aboveallohio.com/images/stock/big/geauga_lake_aerial.jpg As well as a pretty cool photo of Chippewa Lake's Big Dipper: http://www.aboveallohio.com/images/stock/big/big_dipper_chippewa_lake_aerial.jpg

Who's interested in chipping in, we all request the same subject, share the cost of the proofs, then order what we want from the single order of proofs? _________________ Positions Held: Ancillary: Front Gate Photo (Cameras In Action) Games - Arcades/Coin Op Ancillary: Antique Photo (Kamman's Art Shoppes) Big Dipper Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNMH9Z8NMFc

Something with the Wave and Stingray slides and all that area. Also Corkscrew,Musik Express.
