These are the photos mentioned in my thread talking about the fancy weatherproofing for my camera.

For the last few days of our recent vacation we decided to do some things in our general area that we never seem to get around to. We spent one of the days in Niagara Falls, less than a half hour drive for us. We decided to spend the day and do a couple of the tours that are offered. First up was The Cave of the Winds. This is a picture of a good chunk of the structure. Designed to get you up close and personal to the Falls, this structure is built by Memorial Day each year and taken down before each winter to avoid ice damage.
Some mini-falls.
Getting started, relatively dry.
Getting a little wet.
A pic of the upstream rapids.
Next up was a ride on the Maid of the Mist. Another way to get an up close experience, takes you inside the Horseshoe Falls where 90% of the flow falls.
Luckily timing worked out perfectly and our boat only had about half this many people.
The calm before the storm.
The observation tower.
Entering the Horseshoe Falls.
Seeing that I put a photo of inside the Falls in the aforementioned thread, here is a wet video. Pretty wild experience.
A view from the observation tower.
Went into the city to get a bite to eat and came back to see the Falls illuminated.
If you are planning a visit to the area and need any recommendations on where to stay/eat, what to do, etc. let me know. It is nice when the border is open and you can see the view from both the American and Canadian sides. There is more to do on the Canadian side especially if you are into the touristy thing. The city on the American side gets sketchy really fast if you do not know where you are going, best to be aware and use your smarts.
