My stepson lived-in Niagara Falls from 2011-until 2018. So most years we were there twice a year,June and Christmas. I'm up to 2014, 20 15's images have been lost.
But I'm up to 394 imsgre at stop time today.

here are some of the ones I found interesting.

This one taken by Tess out the car window on the way home.Canada's Wonderland in a December sunset.


I have lots of photos of random strangers....I find this one more interesting than most. Maybe the danger sign adds drama?



Tough guy with his tough dog.


I was there for the 2013 ice storm.


One person always has to be different.


Photographers, always taking un-necessary risks.


The other thing I find interesting was, most have never been posted before. They were sitting on my hard drive waiting to be discovered.

I've discarded over 1000 files in the last few days, and am waiting for a new 6T hard rive to come (after 2 days in a new one I'd bought for the purpose crashed. It's being replaced on warranty, but they don't pay for your time lost.) Some of it is backed up and ready to go when the new drive arrives, some of it will have to be redone. In any case, thinning the number of files on my older drives is a good thing to do in the interim.. I'm preparing to leave Aperture behind. Now that I have to do all this stuff, I realize how much time Aperture saved me and how much hard drive space. Aperture did it all for me, incredibly efficiently. I'll need 3 times the hard drive space now that it's gone.

Tomorrow I start 2016, and there are 750 images, just from June that year. It's' my self isolation project.

The first day in Niagara after Ricky moved down there, my photography was limited. I didn't know the lay of the land.









There are two flick albums related to this material.
Just for the falls.

Niagara, N.Y. is such an ugly place compared to Niagara, Ontario ... industrial plants, pollution, old abandoned houses. What an eyesore ...

[normhead]

You can see the American side in image #3. I took this one to show the pollution, then never took another.

From another of today's postings... there re so many conservation areas, we didn't get to them all.

Can I add one? Just don't look at what is going on in the bow. (For that you'd have to look at it on my Flickr page and enlarge the image, which you should not do.)

Aha, a passenger in distress....
Today I added 41 images.

Niagara Falls and Area



And those taken right around the Falls itself.

Do you have any direct pictures of the waterfall itself?

There are lots of photos of the Falls iteself, but not as many photos of the interesting people who are attracted by it.

The falls are there day after day, the people however always change.

Exactly.

On a family trip to the Falls sometime in the 1960's, I took a really beautiful picture from the lip of the Canadian Falls. When my wife and I were there in 1983, I realized I could take the same picture in Kodachrome instead of Kodacolor - but why bother, so I looked for other views. When our family went there in 1998, our daughters were in most pictures I took.

Exactly. Once you have a few pictures of almost anything (including the birds at my feeders) the question you always ask before you press the shutter release is "is it better than the last one I took?"
