I went to Niagara Falls today. I was up in the Buffalo NY area and had some free time. Spozedly it's one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. It was very cool and I got totally drenched climbing a stairway that goes up from the shoreline and gets reeeeeeaaaaaallllll close to the Falls. As the middle of October in Northern NY gets waaaaay cold, I was a frozen shivering wet mess. Or something.
I wouldn't say it's something to plan a vacation around, but if yer in the vicinity, it's certainly something to check out.
The buildings in the distance are in Canada. I tried to apply for political asylum, but they turned me down.
The stairway that goes about 150 feet straight up. Smart people wore ponchos. I wore my Ramones denim jacket.
A cool shot of the American Falls, the Canadian Falls (in the background) and the souls of hundreds of the dead, making their way towards the heavens.
Every few minutes, I yelled out "Niagara Falls, like in the old Abbott and Costello routine. You know... slowly I turned... step by step...

At an after wedding party, the bride was talking about where they were going on their honeymoon. After setting it up with everyone but her, I went over and joined the discussion, asking if "she had considered going to that place up in New York, where all the honeymooners go?"
"Niagara Falls?" she asked.
40 people turned as one, shouting "NIAGARA FALLS! and the bride flipped her chair over backwards.
Thanks for the memories.
I went to the Canadian falls this summer. It's an all day affair. The US falls looks a bit like a street fair. 2 minutes of thrills, more minutes of boredom. You get to take the Ferry, but walking under the falls and going downstream on the rapids (see Superman II) makes the day worth it...
great pics!...i love going to niagra falls!...
Thank you for looking at Canada. You can be sure our cameras were trained on you the entire time.
