  Lisa, this is magnificent!!! Everything...the color, the lights, the detail is perfect. Most of all it is a different perspective from the usual postcard pics I've seen of the falls. This is the first time that I knew there were tall buildings within view of Niagara.

  Completely Stunning Lisa! I see another finalist coming your way!

Is the side with the tall buildings Canada...?? Gosh has been years and years since I have been there... The town of Niagra Falls, Ontario, was such a small place then!

Thank you all for responding so kindly!
Irene and Joan, Niagara Falls, Ontario certainly has developed and grown over the past 10 years or so. The skyline, until recently, sparse, has really blossomed! For tourists, Niagara Falls, Ontario is a bustling playground of activity... So many sites to see and experience!
Blessings, Lisa♥

Ooops, missed you Christine. (typing at the same time) Thank you for such wonderful and encouraging support! Would be great to meet there some day, as I live about 20 minutes away, on the American side.
If anyone is in the NF, USA area, please drop me a line. I love playing tour guide; love it when someone sees the Falls for the very first time! And, it's always fun to have a partner to shoot with.
Matter of fact, I'll be shooting there with some friends tomorrow night (8/4); probably going to walk over the bridge to the Canadian side. (a new vantage point for me!)
Smiles, Lisa♥
