Extending out dramatically over Niagara Gorge, the architectural wonder of the Niagara Falls USA Prospect Point Observation Tower provides unobstructed views of the wild cascades of Niagara Falls, as well as the raging whitewater below.
The tower provides the only panoramic view of all three Niagara Falls. Bird watchers love it because they can spot peregrine falcons, bald eagles and the many different gull species present in the Niagara Gorge.
This is the view across the fields to Turville, seen as I emerged from Poynatts Wood towards the end of my walk
Stopped off at Prospect on route to Peggy's...I can never pass the turning without going down there to snap one of my favourite and most familiar views.
The beautiful Lago di Carezza which is perhaps one of the most beautiful lakes in the world - surely? With it's crystal waters and backdrop it's truly a sight to behold and no wonder so popular.
I persuaded my husband to drive me the hour and a half from our accommodaton at 5am to get this picture. To say he wasn't too excited about this prospect is an understatement! However, it was the only photography time I asked for on our holidays so he relented. We had a good hour or so here without a soul around us. He said he quite happily sat on the bench and drank in the view whilst I messed on with my camera! I'd annoyingly forgotten my filter ring and had to hold my filters in front of the lens so I did only get one or two shots
Just being here was worth it though. My fourth visit but by far the best without the all the people; so tranquil.
....or what's left of it. This was a 19th Century commercial adventure that failed: bringing well-to-do adventurers from Lake George to the peak of Prospect Mountain turned out to be not very lucrative.
Prospect Hill tower / park in Somerville MA is a great sunset view spot in the winter, since the sunset has migrated further south and most of the trees have lost their leaves. It should get even better for the next few weeks as the sunset moves further south till the solstices and the last of the fall foliage falls off.
(In the summer, it's just an ok sunset view spot - it's pleasant to be there, but much of the sunset ends up behind thick tree leaves.)
