Whoa! Lisa! This is an amazing spot and you did a bang up job at giving it mood and personality. Did you use the topaz filter on this? -Laura :)

James E. Coleman level-classic February 24, 2009

Another gorgeous one. If you could get there I wonder what it would look like in all the snow and ice of winter??
Qtn. Do you approach that from the US side or Canadian? Gotta go back.

Jim #7208388

Lisa J. Boulden level-classic February 24, 2009

Thanks Everyone!
James, this spot is on the American side of the Falls. I bet it is really pretty right now, but I imagine the ice would be treacherous to tread. You see, I climbed down to this spot, weaving down, around, and between some really large boulders. In this area, surrounded by the upper Niagara River, you wouldn't want to slip...
But ya know, James, now you've got me curious...
Smiles, Lisa #7208436

I just have to comment.
Jo Anne, thanks for your concern(!!); however my wife and I are going back up there to the falls! I just have to go see what the edge looks like....:):)
