Niagara Falls at night

[SilentKnight]

Living in proximity to Niagara Falls gives me a lot of opportunity to get shots most tourists don't get. Here's a few of my favorites over the past years.

It was shot from Minolta tower. Niagara Falls has two towers - the other taller tower is the Skylon.

Minolta tower is now nearly surrounded by new highrise hotels. It doesn't stand out nearly as much as it did years ago.

All of those are really excellent: that second one looks like the ground just opened up and swallowed the river whole: like it's some kind of volcanic pit or something! :shock:

Regards, John.

Another of my nightshot favorites of the Falls - under cotton-candy colored lighting in winter.
