Niagra Falls, Ontario

August 12, 2019 - August 14, 2019

As you'll see - it's well worth seeing the falls from both sides of the border.  On the U.S. side you can get fairly close to the rushing torrent of water as it cascades over the falls.  On the Canadian side you get a fantastic view of each of the 3 falls.

The American Falls on the left and Rainbow Falls on the right.
Notice all the specks at the bottom and to the right of Rainbow Falls. 

Close-up of the specs in the previous picture.  These folks have paid to get a thorough dousing by going down to "Cave of the Winds" to view Rainbow and American Falls from the bottom.

Horseshoe Falls.
Notice the boat in the water about in the center of the expanse of falls. 
Boat trips run from both sides of the border - taking you past American and Rainbow Falls
right into the intense spray of Horseshoe Falls.

The whirlpool on the Niagara River. 
The river makes an extreme right turn here - resulting this whirlpool of water.

I don't know what it is about Canadians but they know how to do flowers.

The actual floral clock.

Just a few of the previous floral clock designs (1997-2008).

In the distance is the Lake Erie end of the Welland Canal.
The freighter in the background has almost finished going from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie.

This is the Ontario end of the Welland Canal with a freighter approaching the first lock.

This freighter, traveling downriver, is entering one of the 8 locks that allow it to move from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario.
Now you see it....

...now you don't (except for the smoke stack and the ore elevator.
