Niagara Falls
Sequel to my previous post: [tag]Niagara falls[/tag]: evening
Some more pictures:
[tag]Queen Victoria Park[/tag] at Niagara Falls is called the ‘heart’ of Niagara parks. During peak seasons, it has thousands of daffodils, rock garden and some beautiful trails.

[tag]Rainbow Bridge[/tag] across the Niagara river connects US and Canada. The deep blue something Niagara river downstream of the falls looks ferocious. This bridge was constructed in 1941 and is about 290m long.

Its was a long, albeit extremely pleasurable walk from Casino Niagara (where one can park for free) to the point close to the falls. Walking along this path next to the river was awesome. At one point, we were surprised - it suddenly started raining - but soon enough it was dry. Then we realized that it was not the rain, but tiny droplets of water getting sprayed from the Niagara falls. The sound (noise!) of the falls starts rising as we approach and it’s impossible to hear without shouting.

The Niagara falls are divided into two parts. One part is a straight line and the other is a horseshoe. The straight part is in US territory, while the curved one is Canadian. It is generally accepted that view of the whole area is many times better from the Canadian side than the US. Many people pop across the border just to take a look

The falls are illuminated at night, and they look colorful and pretty!

The [tag]city of Niagara Falls[/tag] glitters at night. There are a number of casinos, hotels, restaurants and bars. In the picture you can see a ray of white light that illuminates the falls. The two pictures of US falls shown above are the result of the same beam.

Finally, there are lots of things to do after you have had enough of the falls 
Experimental shot. Artistic, no?

david mcmahon Jul 18, 2007 23:13G’day Priyank,
Followed your link from your comment on my `Tech-head’ blogpost. Enjoyed my first visit to your site.
Never been to Niagara in the dark. Must plan it properly next time.
Enjoyed your pictures. By the way, the poem `Daffodils’ is something I performed for an elocution exam in Year 7. It was a memorable experience and I guess I inherited my love of language and poetry from my mother, who was adapt at not just English but Latin and French as well.
Would you mind if I added you to my blogroll?
Cheers
David
PS: “Celebrity”? Moi? Er, no. Not in my eyes. And definitely not in the eyes of my family!
