A visit to the Falls
Got a chance to drive an hour from where I’m working outside Toronto down to Niagara Falls. I arrived around 6:30pm or so and the whole place was shut down. It was actually kind of nice. All the tourist traps were closed and the tourists gone home for the evening.
There was a stiff breeze out of the east and since I was on the Canadian side of the falls that meant all the mist was headed my way. It was almost like rain. I was able to snap a few pics but didn’t want my DSLR to get drenched so I hid it in my jacket mostly. There were only a handfull of people on the CA side. It was pretty cool being able to stand right at the edge of the falls which you can’t do on the US side. You’re literally 2 feet from the water watching it go over the edge. Neat!
After freezing in the spray for a half hour I headed back to the car to warm up and drive back to the hotel. I drove through hotel row and all the shops still seemed to be closed for the season. I guess they open around Memorial Day.
I’m sure this place is a mad house come summer time. I’m glad I got to see it with almost no one around.
