Man, That’s A Lot Of Water!

Great pictures man! Cool to see the diversity of your blog. You have everything on here, this seems like it's a lot of your life! :mrgreen:

Wow, I've always wanted to see niagra falls, You're one lucky man!

Hey John - wish I would've known you'd be in town. I live about 10 minutes from Niagara Falls. The American side is unfortunately more ghetto but the Falls are truly stunning.

=^..^=

It surely looks like it's the end of the world. And all those people there, waiting to be sorted and directed either to heaven or hell :lol:

Considering that Niagara Falls is about 5 minutes from where I live I'm surprised I don't get to see it more often. I try to make a trip over there at least once a year but it's such a tourist trap now compared to how it was ten or fifteen years ago before the casinos. If you ever come back during the summer definitely take a trip on the maid of the mist boat ride under the falls. It's very pretty because it showcases a lot of rainbows due to the sunlight coming through the mist. At night during the summer there are fireworks and a light show.

I have never been there during winter time, looks nice :)

Niagra falls is something promising that everyone must see at least once in their lifetime. the size and the volume of it is amazing :cool:

En latinoamérica diríamos
"que ...jazo de agua"

Good place for a hydro electric plant :mrgreen:

Awesome pictures john! :evil:

No night time pictures? They light up the falls in a display of colours! Though I guess if the weather isn't great it won't show up nicely. I noticed that one of the observation areas (next to the lower part of the falls) was either a) covered in snow or b) covered in ice..

Crazy

Niagara falls are neat, but Iguazu Falls are amazing :shock:

gotta love america O_O

I live in Syracuse. Believe me, the weather is always crappy. It shocks me that anyone even lives here sometimes! Great pics, though. Come back when you can go on the boat. It's well worth it, I promise.

I've always wanted to go there, I'm surprised you havn't been there allready John!

Very cool pictures, I wouldn't mind visiting the falls sometime. I'd be snapping pics left and right! Oh and I got a nice laugh outta "they didn't wave back" hah

Definitely go back when it is warmer & take the boat ride.

Damn the falls look awesome!

There is not even 1/2 part of water in the world, imagine global warming problems been ignore for few 10years later. Just this part of water already can flood our whole city. Beauty and power of nature when u treat it nicely.

The falls are GREAT to visit during the Summer, you can go to the one side and stand in the mist to cool you down.

My friend does the sound at the Cirque Niagara that runs during the summer as well, it's a very interesting show, (it's currently setup in Woodbine in Toronto, you should check it out if you have time....amazing acrobatics.

While you're at it, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Ontario Science Center are all places close by that are worth checking out :)

Did all that water really make you want to go take a wizz?

Cloudy and icy yet it STILL looks amazing. Great pictures, John -- made me feel nostalgic a whole lot.

Great photos of the falls. The falls on the Canada side are a bit nicier!! You will have to return some cold winter to see the falls when they are frozen!! Always nice to forget about business for a little bit and have some fun!!

In Cantonese, water is money

Lots of water = lots of money.

Been there twice in my life.. Awesome place. I got to take the boat. Also i walked down the cave, where you can see the fall from inside!

nice pics

It looks cool at night with the lights on it too.

Cool pictures. Ive never been to Niagra Falls myself, but people Ive known that has visited all had the same thing to say as you "thats a lot of water" :smile:

John, is the Canadian tourist board paying you $300 for each review of Canada's landmarks? THAT would be evil!

Kumiko :twisted:

I was there a couple of years ago on my roadtrip across the US, and I do agree with you John. That is a lot of water. When you consider how much more water is backing up behind it, several lake fulls of it, the mind boggles.

I was lucky enough to be there in August, so the weather was nice and warm. Even so, the mist still put a bit of a chill in the air.

8th wonder of the world!! :shock:

Oh yeah I went to Niagra Falls when I visited Toronto and that area. It was very awesome, and like you said, very cold. April is a bad month to visit it seems like.

Great photos, John! I'm really enjoying the posts on your escapades this week.
