Niagara Falls

Canadian Horse Shoe falls, from behind.

Niagara Falls, straddling the US-Canadian border, is so ferocious and powerful, it is eating into itself. Apparently the falls have been retreating through the years, and are currently located at a point that is five miles or so upstream from the spot of the original falls. Staring at it sideways, the noise of the wall of water is deafening, the spray is, well, wet, and relentless.
For the behind the scenes look at the falls, you get to go through a man-made tunnel and peek at the wall of water at two spots. One word. INCREDIBLE.

Yes, these are my pics. Thankfully I had a water-resistant Sony in my hand to shoot with.

If you REALLY want to see the Niagara, you gotto go to the Canadian side. Seeing it from the Buffalo,NY side is not as impressive as seeing it on the side of the horse-shoe.

Great pictures. Great camera. Great waterfalls.

When I lived in Columbus Ohio, I used to be a regular visitor.

The force of water is amazing.!!
