They recently opened a new attraction at Niagara Falls; the old power station. The highlight of it is the tailrace tunnel. When built back in 1901 they dug a 2,200 foot tailrace tunnel from the site of the power plant up above the falls to a spot down below the falls to carry the water diverted to the turbines back to the river.
The tunnel has been restored and one can now walk the length of the tunnel and access a viewing platform which has been built at the foot of the falls. The view of the falls is quite breathtaking.

Fish stunned or killed coming over the falls make for rich pickings for the gulls but they have to weather some awfully heavy mist and wind currents.

This needs no introduction - it's the first time I've seen Niagara Falls and it awed me beyond words - it was much better than I expected.
Scape_lands
The “scape_lands“ is a readymade-fotowork series developed since 2010.
The theme is the hermetical law of correspondence (we exist in all planes, astral as well as physical) I discovered the scape_lands in the urban environments, the streets of Berlin.

The unusually low water conditions allow one to better see the slope of the river bed just above the falls.

Thank you for the textures Mister P.S.L.
If I read it fast it is almost L.S.D.
A sunrise is a beautiful thing made even more so with a plume of mist catching the horizontal rays, this shot is a capture of the Horseshoe Falls at Niagara just as the sun is rising.
This was my first encounter with the falls but definitely not my last, it is truly mesmerizing watching the sheer volume of water crashing and thrashing over the edge of the falls and the low early light is fantastic with all the mist to reflect and give texture to the scene.
I took this with my D750 and Nikon 28-300 f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 44mm 1/3s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz Denoise

Niagara Falls at daybreak. The skies never quite cleared, but some light managed to escape the clouds and illuminate a segment of the falls.
A surprise birthday holiday for Mrs M. Two days in Toronto then the train to Niagara Falls for one night. Back to Toronto for one night then the flight home. Managed to get to Heathrow before she found out where we were going....
The Skylon Tower stands five hundred and twenty feet high which is a full seven hundred and seventy-five feet above the base of the falls. With the right wind to clear the mist it provides a spectacular view of the falls. However, on this particular morning, mist from the falls driven by a gentle southerly wind, shrouds all but the top of the tower.
