Just out for a drive and decided to stop in the Harbor of Ashtabula Ohio for this video. It was a nice day out and pretty calm without much wind along Lake Erie, not many days like this on the lakeshore. This is just a quick pan of the lakeshore lighthouse inland to the Bascule Lift Bridge. Watch for 2 more videos of the Lift Bridge raising and lowering also. This Lift Bridge is the only one of its kind still used for automobile traffic in the state of Ohio.
