Niagra Falls.
The Niagra Gorge extends 7 miles (11km) downstream from the falls. The canadian horseshoe falls plunge 52m (170 feet) into the Maid of the Mist Pool. The american falls descend 34m (110 feet) to the rock pile at the base of the falls.The Niagra river is very young being only 12000 years old. The falls are the second largest in the world after Victoria Falls in southern Africa. The falls have moved back 7 miles over 12,000 years, making it one of the fastest moving waterfall in the world.
Each minute, 168,000 cubic metres (6 million cubic feet) of water pass over the crestline.
The majority of the river flow is removed upstream and shared between both canada and america for hydro electric generation for a total generating capacity of 4.4 million kilowatts (5 million horsepower).
Historically the first humans arrived in the niagra region almost 12,000 years ago, just in time to witness the birth of the falls (far downstream from where it currently flows, or falls, today). In may 1535 Jacques Cartier left France to explore the new world and open a chain of high priced jewelery stores with fiesty security guards at the door. Although he never saw the falls, the indians he met along the st lawrence river told him about the mighty cataract, stories too that reached Samuel de Champlain visiting canada in 1608. A jesuit father Gabriel Lalemant first recorded the Iroquios indian name for the river - Onguiaahra, meaning the Strait. Niagra is a simplification of the original.
One fifth of all the fresh water in the world lies in the four upper great lakes, michigan, huron, superior and erie. All the outflow empties in the niagra river and eventually cascades over the falls.
March 29th 1848 due to an ice jam the upper river stopped flowing for several hours. The flow was stopped to a point where peope actually walked out and recovered artifacts from the riverbed.
The falls were very different less than 100 years ago. Today 3/4 of the river flow is diverted both for hydro generation and to slow the erosion of the falls. Eventually the falls will recede far enough to drain most of Lake Erie, the bottom of which is higher than the bottom of the falls. 90% of the river goes over the Horseshoe falls and at night the flow is cut by half for further hydro generation. This drastically reduced the two to ten feet of annual erosion that was occuring, with the falls receding southward at that rate.
The recent construction of tall buildings (mostly hotels) on the canadian side has caused the airflow over the falls to change direction. The result is that the viewing areas on the canadian side are now often obscured by a layer of mist from breezes rolling over the buildings and flowing down into the gorge below the falls feeding into a whirlpool of moisture and air.

At lunch I walked over the music floor of the library. I thought the sun coming through the windows would make for some beautiful photos but it was suprisingly less inspiring then I thought. I settled for flipping through some Rachmaninoff scores. He is my favourite.
Honestly the funniest thing I have found during an explore. We had found this noted nailed to a wooden door in the basement with yes a blue thong attached to it. Too funny to believe!. After reading this 3 page letter to, umm I don't know who, we found that this girl came into this house at night and had this feeling felt a presence within the house and felt like eyes were watching her. Apparently she got really horny from this presence, and she ended up getting tooo excited and she ended up leaving the house naked. Not knowing she was naked she returned to write this note.

I found this note tucked away in the case of a FSU Fed 1. I had actually owned the camera for some time before even discovering this was there. I can't read any of this however I can assume that it is a rough exposure guide. With the top most column being the film speed, followed by shutter speed and aperture combinations below. This leads me to believe that the words on the far left describe different lighting conditions, maybe one for color and one for black and white?
If you can read any of this I would love to know what it means! The camera is from 1937 (according to FedKa.com's database) so lord knows how old this note is.
I bought this at a Hallmark store in Lawrence,MA around 2000-2001 for 40% off.
It was old stock they had for about 10 years that they couldn't get rid of.
NOTES is a series I started in 1968. NOTE TO ERIK was the second one completed but the footage goes back to 1966. When I saw the footage I loved it, but didn't feel ready to deal with it. Seeing Sharon Moss again, who had moved to NYC from Storrs, CT inspired me to return to this footage to make a note to a mutual friend ERIK KIVIAT. It took about 2 years for me to feel I could respond to the generosity of her performance and the images I had gathered and shaped in my camera. Sharon Moss and her cats play and dance naked in the snow.
