Lower Niagara River

It was a great day to get out of town. I love living downtown, however, I wanted to take photos in a different environment for a change. You need a completely different approach for this to shooting an urban photo. Along the bank of the Niagara River there's an observation point and because this is such a scenic view on a fabulous sunny day like it was that day it's often full of people, admiring the view and taking pictures. So I took this shot before getting to the observation point and we also headed there early. Just as well as no sooner had I taken my images several cars pulled up. I actually stood on a low wall to get this shot because I wanted to be elevated to get as much of the beautiful view as I could. I don't think any picture can do this scene justice, it's quite incredible. Just looking at this image takes me right back to the moment I captured it.
