Iguazu Falls, Iguazú Falls, Iguassu Falls, or Iguaçu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of the Argentine province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paraná. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu. The Iguazu River rises near the city of Curitiba. For most of its course, the river flows through Brazil, however, most of the falls are on the Argentine side. Below its confluence with the San Antonio River, the Iguazu River forms the boundary between Argentina and Brazil.
The name "Iguazu" comes from the Guarani or Tupi words "y" [ɨ], meaning "water", and "ûasú "[waˈsu], meaning "big". Legend has it that a deity planned to marry a beautiful woman named Naipí, who fled with her mortal lover Tarobá in a canoe. In a rage, the deity sliced the river, creating the waterfalls and condemning the lovers to an eternal fall. The first European to record the existence of the falls was the Spanish conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca in 1541.
About 900 metres (2,950 ft) of the 2.7-kilometre (1.7 mi) length does not have water flowing over it. The edge of the basalt cap recedes by 3 mm (0.1 in) per year. The water of the lower Iguazu collects in a canyon that drains into the Paraná River, a short distance downstream from the Itaipu Dam. The junction of the water flows marks the border between Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. There are points in the cities of Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, and Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, which have access to the Iguazu River, where the borders of all three nations may be seen, a popular tourist attraction for visitors to the three cities.
The Iguazu Falls are arranged in a way that resembles a reversed letter "J". The border between Brazil and Argentina runs through the Devil's Throat. On the right bank is the Brazilian territory, which has just over 20% of the jumps of these falls, and the left side jumps are Argentine, which make up almost 80% of the falls.
There are two international airports close to Iguazú Falls: the Argentine Cataratas del Iguazú International Airport (IGR) and the Brazilian Foz do Iguaçu International Airport (IGU). Argentina's airport is 25 kilometres (16 mi) from the city of Iguazu, but is closer to the falls hotels than its Brazilian counterpart. There are bus and taxi services from and to the Airport-Falls. Brazil's airport is between Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, and the falls. Aerolíneas Argentinas and LAN Airlines have direct flights from Buenos Aires to Iguazu International Airport Krause. Azul, GOL, and TAM Airlines offer services from main Brazilian cities to Foz do Iguaçu.

Awesome beyond imagination, the Iguazu Falls do really impress, and it is hard to judge which side is more spectacular - Argentinian or Brazilian. Both are worth visiting... a special (though crowded) place!
iss062e062036 (Feb. 28, 2020) --- The well-lit New York/New Jersey metropolitan area is viewed during the early morning hours as the International Space Station orbited 263 miles above the northeastern United States. Landmarks include the dark rectangular area (lower center) that is Central Park in Manhattan.
In contrast to the crowded Upper Antelope Canyon, known for specatular sunlight beams during the midday, Lower Antelope Canyon is considerably less crowded and boasts spectacular colors in the early mornings.

Just past the picture posted before this along the creek is a lower section of falls. This one set up nicely, even with the downfall it was a really cool section to shoot.

Beschreibung des Mahnmals
Synagogenmahnmal
Die Südspitze der Lappenberginsel heute. Am linken unteren Bildrand der Gedenkstein von 1947
Das Mahnmal steht an der Stelle, an der sich der Mittelpunkt des achteckigen Hauptraumes befand. Die Grundform ist ein Quader aus Verona-Rot, einem dichten rötlichen Kalkstein aus der Nähe von Verona. Der Sockel ist aus Bronze. An den Seiten des Quaders sind jeweils Davidssterne eingelegt, der an der Westseite besteht ebenfalls aus Bronze, die übrigen aus verschiedenen Marmorarten. Jede Seite hat ein eigenes Thema. Die Ostseite befasst sich mit Erwählung, die Nordseite mit dem Kult, die Südseite mit dem Gesetz des jüdischen Volkes, die Westseite mit seiner Verfolgung und der Shoa. Auf jeder Seite ist ein Wasserspeier angebracht sowie ein Auffangbecken am Sockel. Auf dem Quader erhebt sich als Bronzeplastik eine Miniatur der Stadt Jerusalem, getragen von vier Löwen. Die Breite des Steins beträgt 2 m, seine Höhe bis zu 2,45 m. Der Sockel springt etwas vor, so dass seine Kantenlänge 2,40 beträgt. Die Plastik auf der Oberseite ist jeweils 75 cm hoch und breit. Die Gesamthöhe beträgt 3,48 m, das Gewicht insgesamt ca. 22 t.
Hinweistafel auf der Umfassungsmauer
Die unmittelbare Umgebung des Quaders ist mit altem Kopfsteinpflastersteinen von Hildesheimer Straßen aus braunem und grauen Granit gepflastert, die restliche Südspitze der Lappenberginsel ist grasbewachsen. Man erreicht den Platz über eine Granittreppe an der Westseite, die an der Stelle errichtet wurde, an der sich die Treppe zum Eingang in die Vorhalle der Synagoge befand. Als Begrenzung wurde auf den 1988 freigelegten Fundamenten eine Natursteinmauer errichtet, die den Verlauf eines Teils der Außenmauer des Gotteshauses nachzeichnet.
Schändung des Mahnmals

Burlington Northern Railroad SD9 6191 at Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1957 as CB&Q SD9s 444 (c/n 23623) on EMD Order 5549, it became BN 6191 and later BNSF 6191. The lower case "s" in the CB&Q model designation indicates a Single control stand, unusual for the CB&Q.
The final 320-foot (98 m) drop adjacent to an accessible viewing area, provides the most-used viewing point for the waterfalls. Yosemite Creek emerges from the base of the Lower Fall and flows into the Merced River nearby. Like many areas of Yosemite the plunge pool at the base of the Lower Fall is surrounded by dangerous jumbles of talus made even more treacherous by the high humidity and resulting slippery surfaces.
Since the end of 2015 it can legally be used for graffiti art.

One of the many neon signs in Pike Place market in Seattle. The market houses the world famous Pike Place Fish stall. I remember reading a book called Fish many years ago where the idea was to make the art of selling fun. They definitely do that there- getting the crowd involved and if someone makes a sale, fish go flying!
