Niagara Falls is known as one of the Great Wonders of the World.
It sends 168,000 cubic metres of water over the Falls every minute at peak times, according to the Niagara Parks Commission.
Some Quick Facts about Niagara Falls:
(then back to my photos)
The world famous site extends to both sides of the USA/Canadian borders. In 2016, a campaign was officially launched to make it OFFICIALLY one of the Wonders of the World supported by government and Canadians.
The hashtag (#ClaimThe8th) - was launched. More reading on that and official sources of info at the end of this blog post.
Many people think it is officially one of the 7 Great Wonders of the World, but it is not according to official sources.
The seven listed as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are:
Great Pyramid of Giza; Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus, Colossus of Rhodes; Temple of Artemis; Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; Pharos of Alexandria.
The famous boat cruises everyone sees in photos -- are on the water right into the Falls! Our cruise was about to leave, so you put on the plastic thin overcoats and take photos of course and enjoy the ride and the signs for about half an hour!
There is a massive street running along the top outer edge of the Falls with lots of shops, washrooms, bus stops, places to sight see the natural wonders, etc.
This shot I took from that lower level -- looks straight up the cliff area to the commercial area which is very very very busy.
Thank You... Thank You Very Much......for reading my blog!

All photos taken on my Samsung phone, except for the aerial shot of Niagara Falls I used from the National Post so people who are not familiar with this geographical legend could see the expanse of this Wonder of the World!!!
