Niagara Falls is collectively composed of 3 waterfalls along the Niagara River on the U.S. and Canada borders. The above is a partial shot of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as Canadian Falls. The other 2 are the Bridal Veils and American Falls.
I tried to convey a feeling of drama in this image--I'm not sure if I succeeded (?) I was a little torn between the vast colour shift between the rushing water and the sky but decided to upload regardless and try and get some input/constructive comments on the overall presentation.
Sitting next to Niagara Falls and watching the sunset is one of the most beautiful experience. if conditions are right you will see plenty of rainbows too. hope everyone is doing good.

When most people think of Niagara Falls, they think of the Falls. For those of us that have grown up there, this is a more accurate representation.

"...focus on the journey, not the destination.
Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it."
Greg Anderson
"Joy is prayer - Joy is strength- Joy is love - Joy is a net of love
by which you can catch souls. She gives most who gives with Joy."
Mother Teresa
"There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go."

Niagara Falls, Ontario
Funny how you can forget everything you know about shooting fireworks at the worst possible time.
This show was a disaster photographically. My exposures were all over the place and I scrambled to try and salvage some shots from the evening as the smoke kept building and moving in my direction.
This was the best of the night and ironically, it's the burst that they set off 15 minutes prior to the actual show to warn guests to find a spot. I heard the "thump" of the shell being launched and managed to trigger the shutter just in time for the burst.
Thanks for stopping by!
The same view downriver on the Upper Niagara River showing the effects of the morning sunrise. A minimalist view.
We had booked 2 nights on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls and running up to this I was checking weather forecasts and it kept saying rain on the full day we had there. Gah, but miraculously it held off most of the day. The dull clouds weren't great but much better than rain!
I used the Lee little stopper here for this 4 second shot.

Die Niagarafälle sind Wasserfälle des Niagara-Flusses an der Grenze zwischen dem US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat New York und der kanadischen Provinz Ontario. Das Wort Niagara heißt in der Sprache der Ureinwohner „donnerndes Wasser“.
Niagara Falls ist zudem der Name der beiden Schwesterstädte Niagara Falls, New York und Niagara Falls, Ontario, in deren Zentrum sich die Fälle befinden.
Der den Eriesee mit dem Ontariosee verbindende Niagara River, der zugleich die östliche Begrenzung der Niagara-Halbinsel bildet, stürzt 58 Meter in die Tiefe. Dabei werden die Fälle durch die oben gelegene Insel Goat Island (Ziegeninsel) in zwei Teile gespalten. Der US-amerikanische Teil hat eine Kantenlänge von 363 m, der kanadische eine von 792 m. Das Wasser des US-amerikanischen Teils fällt nach 21 m auf eine Sturzhalde, die bei einem Felssturz 1954 entstand. Der kanadische Teil (Horseshoe, deutsch Hufeisen) hat eine freie Fallhöhe von 52 m.
Der Wasserdurchfluss beträgt, je nach Jahreszeit, zwischen 2.832 und 5.720 m³/s, durchschnittlich 4.200 m³/s (ungefähr das Doppelte des Rhein-Abflusses), wobei zu sagen ist, dass je nach Tageszeit nur etwa ein Viertel bis die Hälfte der gesamten Wassermassen die Fälle hinunterstürzen. So werden die Wasserfälle nachts, außerhalb der Saison sowie bei geringer Frequentierung durch Touristen auf bis zu 10 % der ursprünglichen Wassermenge gedrosselt und die verbleibenden 90 % über ein Stauwehr für die Stromgewinnung umgeleitet. Zu Saisonzeiten werden die Wasserfälle sprichwörtlich per Knopfdruck allmorgendlich angeschaltet. Schiffe umfahren die Fälle durch den 12 km westlich liegenden, 43,4 km langen Wellandkanal bei St. Catharines, der größeren Nachbarstadt von Niagara Falls.

This picture shows the American Falls, from the balcony of our hotel on the Canadian side. The falls are illuminated on a regular schedule from spotlights on the Canadian side of the Niagara River.
This is a closer view of the outcropping of the Niagara Escarpment (Lockport Formation, of Middle-Silurian age) shown in the previous photo of Snail Shell Harbor on the Garden Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The rock consists of limestone (calcium carbonate) and dolomite (calcium-magnesium carbonate). The Escarpment hosts some unique ecological environments with some endangered plant and animal species, both on its forested slopes and on the plateau that it forms. According to Wikipedia the Escarpment is a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and that it has the oldest forest ecosystem in eastern North America. I read that the oldest trees in eastern North America were recently found on the Escarpment in Michigan, 1500-year-old cedars.
