Have some photo ideas and I’m trying to find somewhere local to do it. I want to try the Thorold tunnel at some point but I don’t feel like driving an hour into Canada on a Thursday evening. Anyone know of anything. Doesn’t have to be a tunnel, just something very well lit and that you can stop on the side of the road on. (That means no to the 33 :() Any suggestions are appreciated… ---

There’s that tunnel that goes under the airport runway out on Aero Dr. ---

Last time I drove through it, the damn thing was lit up like a christmas tree. But they use those orange lights which give a weird glow in pics. ---

I think you’ll be surprised by the response time of the NFTA cops. 😉 I’m surprised they’ve never busted me considering I’ve never been able to go through that tunnel without doing a 2nd gear pull. ---

Since we are talking airport why not try the departures (Top) or arrivals (Bottom). Just go at like 10 or 11 at night and ask the cop standing there if you can snap a few pics. Worth a shot. There is hardly any traffic at that time. What about a parking ramp…? The Galleria has a well lit one. I think ECMC does as well. Either way I can’t wait to see your pics. You always have such cool ideas. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tunnels-or-well-lit-streets-in-buffalo/57309.md?page=2)
