Last week we had a long overnight in Buffalo, New York. We arrived just before midnight but did not have to show until 5:00 PM, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy the area. Since none of the four of us had been to Niagara Falls, we did some investigating and discovered a $4.00 bus ride from the airport was available. What a wonderful natural wonder the falls are! Such power and beauty in once place. We walked all over the place and checked out all the different views we could on the American side. If I ever get back up there I will look into the Canadian side. This image was taken near Prospect Point. We avoided all the souvenir shops but did eat lunch at the Top of the Falls restaurant overlooking the falls. Buffalo wings! It made for a nice day trip.

Love the falls, brings back great memories for me. We would trek up twice a year to the Canadian side of the falls and have a lot of fun as kids. All those years of living fairly close and taking all those trips, I’ve never seen the American side! Thanks for the photos, very nice.

And, I’ve never seen the Canadian side, except for some photos. I’m glad our images can take people back in time for those sort of memories. Have a super day!

Nice photo, Monte, and another place I’ve not been that I’d like to visit. But I’ve got to say the big tourist thing kind of turns me off to visiting.
Well worth the $4 bus ride no doubt! 😉
Monte Stevens
Yep, I go for the cheaper bus ride and spend my money on camera gear or lunch. 🙂

It is an incredible site to see. When I was there many years ago our hotel overlooked the falls and I was able to get some night shots. I will have to dig them out someday.
Monte Stevens
Ah, more memories have awakened. Hope you find them.

Niagra Falls . . . Slowly I turned . . . inch by inch . . .
Monte Stevens
And, I assume you’ve been there and bought the shirt. 🙂
Chris Klug
No, just remember the old vaudeville routine, is all. I was there once a long time ago, no shirt.

The roar of the water must be overwhelming! I’ve never been, but this photo really makes me want to see the Falls for myself. It’s beautiful, and thanks for sharing it.
Monte Stevens
And, the mist was everywhere. Thanks for sharing and, your welcome

Monte,
Great shot! Good shutter speed choice. Water shows
movement but neither stop-action nor a blur… Great
picture, I sure enjoy traveling thru your camera. alan

Thanks, Alan. I find it fun to document where I go and I think having my camera with me calls me to look at the world with a different pair of glasses. I see it so differently, and part of that may also be the age thingy. 🙂
