This shot was taken on our way out of Canada but it gives an overall view of the falls. The closer falls on the left are the American Falls. They are separated by a land mass to the right. The big misty cloud is hiding the Canadian Falls on the right.
This is at the top of the Canadian Falls The interesting thing about this is that the camera picked up the frozen chunks. We could not perceive them with our eyes at the time. I didn't realize they were there until I saw the picture today. The water is going very fast right here.This is looking down at an intermediate falls. The chunks of ice are very easy to see now.
This is looking downstream at the American Falls and the Niagara River.

There really is a lot of water here. The mist makes it hard to see the whole falls but it was spectacular nonetheless.





Here are the falls on the Canadian side just below the hotel we were staying at.

This is looking upstream of the Niagara River. You can see that the land is really quite flat until it falls at this point.
This is my favorite picture.

so, you didn't try to go over in a barrel? or on an ice chunk?

What were you doing in Niagra Falls? We lived just a few minutes away in Buffalo! Once, at the Canadian border, we were asked by the patrol, "Are you Mormons?" "Is it that obvious?" We were headed to the Toronto temple.

Very cool. That is like the hottest romantic getaway spot in the New English area. I'm so impressed with you empty-nesters.

There's Old English, Middle English, and New English, hosander. Everybody knows that.

I just was thinking about the falls this evening and even posted an amateur painting I did of some falls. Thanks for sharing those pictures. I used to live in Buffalo and went to Niagara Falls a few times. :-)
