Part 2: http://www.behindtheseen.me/2016/08/a-photographic-detour-part-2.html
Tomorrow I promise to return to words rather than photographs -- but I've saved the best (or at least the most fun and wet to take) for last.
The Small and the Mighty
At Niagara Falls on Goat Island, this tiny group of wildflowers clung tenaciously to the cliff at the top of the American Falls, inches from the roar of the pounding water plummeting down towards the lush green trees and brush below. Fortunately, I stayed up with the wildflowers rather than going over with the water while taking this picture.
Speaking of below... from the base of the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side:
Sunshine and Mist
From the base of Bridal Veil Falls, my last moments before getting the ultimate sprinkler experience:
Sometimes you just have to stand in a waterfall to get the photo you want.
At the bottom of Bridal Veil Falls. While the Horseshoe Falls can be viewed from openings in tunnels behind the falls (the last photograph of Part 1 is of an old, out-of-use such tunnel), and the Maid of the Mist and Hornblower boats drive you up to the base of the Horseshoe Falls in what might be the most incredible, awe-inspiring, humbling experience of my life so far, this is the only part of Niagara Falls that allows visitors to walk this close to the base of the falls. I got drenched. And it was awesome.
