Skyline
It had been a looonnnggg time since my last visit to Niagara Falls. The opportunity to visit could not be overlooked when I was scheduled for a training class on the outskirts of Buffalo. I’m not sure which aspect of the area I was more intrigued by, the never explored state park or the change/growth of tourism in the area. Besides the falls, the biggest attraction 30 years ago was the Skylon Tower (or Marineland if you had kids!). Now there are casinos, entertainment attractions and huge hotels. I still like the parks though…

The Rage
The pre-show area of the American Falls in Niagara Falls State Park would have to be the rapids. The energy and raw power of the moving water was mesmerizing. It didn’t help to already have a fascination with water prior to visiting. I had to keep reminding myself to continue the walk to the observation deck, the sun was setting and I was loosing light. This is a section of the rapids about a 100 yards from the falls.
The Upper Falls
I finally have processed the last of the waterfall images from Letchworth State Park. The Upper Falls were a short walk from Middle Falls and although not as large in size they are visually impressive due to the sky high train bridge straddling the gorge right above them.
After capturing a few images I heard a low rumble as I was breaking down the tripod to walk to the very edge of Upper Falls. It had to be a train! I quickly got everything back in position and was rewarded with a very slow moving train across the bridge. I don’t think I could have timed it better if I tried.
