Views of Niagara Falls

Recently we returned from four days in Niagara Falls, where we enjoyed sightseeing on both sides of the river. The American views are not as well-known as our familiar Canadian side, but it's still a thrill to get so close to the rushing water. Here are just a few of the many pictures that I took on the trip. If any of these inspire you to pick up a paint brush, please feel free to use them as reference material!
Here is part of the spectacular view from our 21st floor balcony.
This is the American Falls, looking towards Canada, with the Horseshoe Falls at the back.
American Falls: we could walk right up close, and feel the spray.


The Falls are illuminated at night, and this night there were also great fireworks.


This lovely park is across the road from our hotel, with the Falls there at the back.



A type of peony flower, perhaps?



We saw three wedding parties in a couple of hours at the park, on the Saturday in this "Honeymoon Capital of the World". This shot just shows more of the lovely flowers there.
