Having visited umpteen cascades in the west, a visit to Niagara which is only about 240 miles from my place was definitely on the cards.. We had to make it before winter set in.. coz we didn't want to freeze in no mans land (neither US nor Canada)...
Also, the first time ever I got so close to any international border .. so much so that pedestrians are allowed to cross through the border...

And a beautiful bridge separating the two countries...for most ppl who drive to cross the border
...and in between is a special gift from US to Canada, as a token of appreciation of a long lasting friendly relationship (unlike our neighbors).. Its this view.. of US falls from Canadian side (as seen from the Maid of the Mist boat ride...
The USP of this falls is not its height or width but the sheer rate at which water is pushed down.... more than 200,000 cu feet per second!!!
and to top it all .. u get an easy access point to a top view of the falls to check out how the falls is formed... which is also rare in most other falls I have seen..
and not to forget .. the ever lasting rainbow at the falls to add to its beauty...

is the rainbow persistent? it looks like it is very easy to capture it. nice pics and info too :-)
yep.. it was quite persistent in the region. It'd started teasing my cam ... appearing close to the bridge once. and on the other side of the falls the next moment!! :)
