Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls from the Canadian Side

Background

I first went to Niagara Falls when I was about ten years old. I went again in the ninth grade with a church group. Those experiences may have started my love of waterfalls, although I didn't begin to actively pursue falls until the last ten years or so.

 

Unusual View

The most unusual view of Niagara Falls I have seen is one that I did not photograph because I did not have my camera with me. I was flying from Maine to Illinois when I saw out the window what looked like a white horseshoe with smoke coming from it. Just as I realized it was Niagara Falls, the pilot announced that we were flying over the falls.

 

View From Canadian Side

The best views of Niagara Falls are from the Canadian side. Here is a picture that I took from there in addition to the pciture at the top of this page. Click on any of the thumbnails to see a larger version of the picture.

View From U.S.A. Side

Here is a picture from the U.S.A. side of the falls. While you cannot see the entire falls from this side, you can get close to them and feel the spray.
