"Water below and above ....." Niagara Falls by nighthawk
Niagara Falls Travel Guide: 1,682 reviews and 3,470 photos
It was snowing and the wind was blowing but hey! we Dutchies can take it!
The falls were covered in mist and the clouds were low but later on the weather improved some so parting from it took some time for we kept seeing something that we had to photograph.
Some facts:
The Niagara river is about 58 kilometers / 36 miles in length and is the natural outlet from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario.
At the American falls the water plunges from 21 to 34 metres (70 - 110 ft.) to a talus slope at the base of the falls.
The Canadian Horseshoe Falls, for the most part, falls 54 metres (176 ft) into the Maid of the Mist pool.
The Niagara Gorge extends from the falls for 11 kilometres (7 miles) downstream to the foot of the escarpment at Queenstown.
More than 168.000 cubic metres (6 million cubic ft) of water go over the crestline every minute during peak daytime hours.
This photograph I did not take myself cause we never saw that maid! I guess the maid doesn t like the cold that much ...

Great page! I hope to visit Niagara Falls this year, it looks like such a wonderful place!
I remember just observing the falls from the upper deck and that was enough fine for me, LOL.
WOW it seems you spent also a great time at the niagara falls - right we had fantastic weather :-)
They're pretty amazing, aren't they? Terrific pics in your travelogue.
I only saw the falls in late summer, but would love to see them any time of the year...great pics
The picture, "Don't go over the railing" is so true. It seems very easy to get real close to the river. Barrel, anyone?
great page, we had a lovely time there.
Net iets te laat, maar alsnog Van Harte!! Mooie pics trouwens op je Canada sites!
great page - hope simone is ok :-)
