Finally, a couple from the "Walk Behind The Falls" Tour:

1. What? No "look at us in our fancy garbage bags" pictures?
I'm saddened. ;) Very nice pictures. MrG and I went there on our honeymoon and I spent a great deal of time there as a kid when we lived in Syracuse. One of my favorite places on earth. :)

4. Nice! I really like the b&w.
Niagara is one of those places I want to go back to. My one trip there was when I was 8.

11. beautiful
I was born in NF and I always love seeing pix. I esp. like the American falls and the state park there, not as pretty and flashy as the Canadian side, but very naturalistic.

There is nothing like that view!

14. Um, it's Niagara, not Niagra
You might have been thinking of a certain pharmaceutical.

Great pictures!

24. But...but...but...
where are all the pictures of the wax museums? :shrug:




Great pics! That hotel room view is just amazing.

A relative of mine lives in NF, and I grew up near Toronto...used to go to the Falls all the time. I haven't been for about 15 years...the pics bring back some great memories. :hi:

30. Never, EVER trust
anything that appears to be standing still in that city! :rofl:

After the first brown trouser episode, you learn pretty quickly...:blush:




(we also have Albertans in pickup trucks who hate Bush. It's a favourite pastime right up there with hockey and beer)

27. Gorgeous pics!
I especially like the B&Ws.

I was just telling Son of GoG that I want to take him up there. I saw the falls rather briefly when I was in Buffalo for an audition a couple of years ago. I wish I could have spent more time there.

Thanks for sharing! :)
