The near 750,000 gal/sec of water, cascading over Niagara Falls, was an impressive amount of water to behold. The water which hit the bottom with over 2000 tons of force (on the Horseshoe Falls side) sent a mist akin to rain, drenching every visitor who braved viewing it near the edge, as well as the ones who stood far off to enjoy the spectacle. It seemed strange to have such an enormous attraction sandwiched between two cities – the Canadian city of Niagara Falls and the American city by the same name. The pictures I grew up seeing never had cities in the background. And I guess if you were viewing it from the Canadian side, there are angles to take pictures from that would excluded most of the buildings.
