I did this summer for the first time although I've been in Toronto a dozen times now. It was so hot and we walked by the residential areas nearby for a while. Your visit looks a lot more different to mines considering the differences in weather
@onrealityofdreams Hmmm...it has been a while, at this point (I allowed my passport to lapse and they stopped allowing a US driver's license as enough to cross that border).
It was when they had lots of water... 😉
Prob early 2000s.
The last time I was in Niagara Falls, ON, they had really classed the place up. It was quite seedy the first time I was there...
I've been. kinda dug the american side 'goat island'. wild to think that the amount of water going over is about 1/2 of the total flow going through the lakes.
I go to Niagara Falls about once a month to have lunch with a few friends. There is so much mist from the rising foam that your clothes can get coated with fine water droplets, which gives a freezing chill on a summer's day and even more bone-chilling in winter!
Where you're standing in the lower photo is actually very scary if you walked about 100 feet further to your right... where that shelf of flat water can be seen on the right... because you can stand right at the edge of the cliff itself and be within 20 feet of the water and look straight down!
Here's what the Canadian side looks like at night in both summer and winter...
