NIAGARA FALLS... STILL LOOKING TERRIFIC SINCE WE LAST SAW IT IN 2001! BELOW IS A LITTLE TODDLER DARING TO CLIMB TO GET A BETTER VIEW.... AND THE MAID OF THE MIST... AS WELL AS A SMART LITTLE DUCK THAT CLAIMED A STEADY ROCK JUST A FEW YARDS AWAY FROM THE EDGE OF THE FALLS AS HIS REST SPOT.
WE GOT OUT TO THE FALLS BY 6AM AND CAUGHT THE SUN RISING THROUGH THE MISTS COMING OFF NIAGARA BELOW- FANTASTIC!
BELOW-IN BUFFALO IS AN HISTORIC HOME WHERE PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT WAS SWORN IN AFTER WM MCKINNLEY ASSASSINATION IN 1901. PLACE ON NATIONAL HISTORIC LIST....
(ABOVE) SOME CONCERNS AFTER SEEING THIS IN A MEN'S RESTROOM- PROGRESSIVE AREA IN NIAGARA FALLS AREA AS THIS FOOT WASH IS SPECIFICALLY PLACED FOR MUSLIM FAITH PEOPLES TO DO THEIR RELIGIOUS RITUALS (THERE IS NO SAND OR BEACHES AROUND HERE!!) MY SERIOUS CONCERN IS THAT BECAUSE IT IS PLACED IMMEDIATELY AS YOU WALK INTO RESTROOM, IT CAN POSSIBLY BE CONFUSED WITH A URINAL (NOT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF FOOT WASH RITUALS...)
BELOW-
VISITED THE OLD FORT NIAGARA IN NIAGARA FALLS..... PROBABLY THE SINGLE BEST FORT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE USA- LOCATED WHERE LAKE ONTARIO MEETS THE END OF THE NIAGARA RIVER...
- 
.
BELOW IS A FIRE PIT THAT THEY USED TO HEAT CANNON BALLS UNTIL THEY WERE RED HOT- THEN THEY IMMEDIATELY LOADED THEM INTO THE CANNON AND FIRED THEM OFF INTO THE WOODEN SHIPS WITH THE HOPE AND INTENTION THAT THEY WOULD SET FIRE TO THE ENEMY SHIPS!!
BELOW IS A COMMUNAL BED THAT THE SOLDIERS USED.
