Pictures from Niagara Region

I actually took only a few pictures in Toronto itself - at the CN tower. Me and my sister spent two days doing wineries, and spending lots of money on Icewine. I'm still afraid to look at my credit card bills. ugh. I was a BAD girl. Really bad :(

Want a fixer-upper? Here's a derelict ship that was in this little bay all rust covered and rotten wood we drove by on the way to the Niagara region. My sister wanted pics of it, so I pulled over and she took a whole bunch, and I took a few. Very interesting.

Close up of Niagara falls, Canadian side of the Horseshoe falls. You can sort of barely see the rainbow. Yes, you can get quite close. We got there at the falls in the late afternoon (6pm) as the stores were closing and the people thinning out. It was still light out, but it was a bit chilly, and even more chilly when the breeze blew the mist in our face!

The Alien's have landed! :) heh. We hung out at the falls and had dinner at the Table Top restaurant - and even payed the bill in US dollars! WHEE! As we were about to leave, the waitress clued us in that there was going to be a 'light show', so we hung out. Wowa! the falls looked pretty cool all light up with various colors. I took a lot of photos and most of them came out decently. That night setting on my digital, if I have a steady place to brace, can get some great photos! :) The green looks cool, the red is just surreal.

blah. these are all looking fuzzy to me. ::sigh:: I shrink them down for the net, and they lose focus it seems.

That old, rotting ship looks cool. Like the wreck of a pirate ship! Aaaaaargh! :D

Yikes! That sideways one really gives you an idea how MUCH water is going over every second.
