Floating City

Today, we revisit Niagara Falls. I had just taken this shot that I had posted earlier this year and wanted to get a different view of the water. I walked along the path alongside the Niagara River so I could get a view of the water before it plummeted over the edge on its way from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. As I looked back toward the falls, the city of Niagara Falls, Ontario actually looked like it was floating in the river. From my vantage point, the huge gorge between the American side and the Canadian side had “disappeared” giving the appearance that the city was on an island. The only indication that there might be a gorge is the mist from the American Falls (on the right) coming up from the bottom.

  7. Len, the water in this is fantastic - just that right amount of movement to look silky and yet have great contrast too.

  8. I’m with everyone else, the water is fantastic. There is just the right amount of silkiness indicating movement but still retaining all the blues and greens providing depth.
