A Thrill and a View

An autumn sunrise over the Niagara Gorge.
Built in 1913, the Whirlpool Aero Car takes visitors 250 feet above the most turbulent waters of the lower Niagara River. Travelling the 1800 foot span (in each direction) one crosses the US/Canada border four times and can get breathtaking views of the gorge and the whirlpool rapids below.
It's difficult to gain perspective from this view, but the waves in these treacherous waters are 15-20 feet high!

Thank you for such lovely comments, Sherry, Jeana, and Ron.
Ron, I captured this yesterday morning, at about 9am, from Whirlpool State Park, Niagara Falls, NY. I made it a point to get there rather early because, by 10am, most of this view would be in shadow. Have a great trip. If you (or anyone) would like tips of suggestions on planning your Niagara, USA trip, feel free to contact me.
Smiles, Lisa♥ #6631859

What great BetterBuddies you are!!!
Thank you for such sweet birthday wishes and for your kind comments on this image.
Had a great day! A good friend and I went shopping at a local camera shop, where I bought myself a new tripod. (Happy Birthday to ME!) We then went to lunch. I just returned from the Sabres-Bruins game with my family --- and the Sabres WON!!! Before we left the house, they gave me a great present - a new lens. Sigma's 150-500 OS. Can't wait to take it for a spin!
And to return home from the game, and see all of your birthday blessings here on BP, was simply icing on my birthday cake!
Thank you all again! And a special thanks to Peaches, for her beautiful floral card and for the song.
Bright blessings, Lisa♥ #6634840
