Niagara Falls

I was finally able to visit one of Canada's most famous attractions. Maybe THE most famous thing to see. Geordie has seen it before but I was a first timer.  That is, of course, Niagara Falls.  The Canadian side of the falls on the far right of the panorama below is supposed to be the most spectacular.  It is loud, wet and mist shrouded.  I liked the American falls as well which are located to the far left of the panorama. 

Here is a closer view of the American Falls.  The reddish stairs on the bottom left are to the Cave of Winds which was closed because of a rock slide a few days before. Rock slides are common as the falls erode and move further back.  This was taken on Maid of the Mist which may not be operational in the future.

At night the falls are illuminated with colour changing floodlights.  I recommend seeing the falls at different times of the day in order to get a full view and experience of them in different light settings.  The constant mist makes the light diffuse in a very soft way.  Being there in the fall was great as there was no where near the crowds you get in the Summer.
