I finally made exploring Terrapin Point with Dave -- the closest you can be to the crest of the horseshoe falls. At least on the American side
Exploring Terrapin Point
It's still gray and wintery here in Niagara Falls, but deep winter was over before we arrived. And signs of spring are all around.
I believe these are shelf mushrooms, but I'm definitely not a mycologist.
Signs of NIagara Falls industrial past.
My new favorite subject, the coin operated binocular hanging out with my long-time, reluctant subject, Dave.
Niagara Falls State Park is empty on this sixty degree day. I mean there were a dozen or so of us, socially distancing, but it is definitely eerie.
I don't think a photo can ever do Niagara Falls justice. It's truly a journey for all the senses. One the crest of the fall the water is loud, the air is wet, and the water rushing past is mesmerizing.
The urge to dive in is strong.
It's a long way down.
Dave is often called in to do a final photo sort with me. He said meh to this photo because you can't tell what it is. I kept it because I like the mystery.
The crest of the falls looking over the river. It's so wet. The air is thick.
Amazing how peaceful and serene and empty state park becomes.
The Skylon Tower, or as Dave calls it, Canada's Seattle Space Needle. Gotta love that groovy sixties vibe.
The falls are enormous. I promise I'll go exploring Terrapin Point with a non-plastic lens soon!
Emtpy walkways make for pretty photos. [shrug]
I tried to pick just one photo of the coin operated binoculars for this post, but I failed. This one just has so much… personality that I couldn't resist.
The lens
I truly do love this Holga lens for my DSLR. Mine's the Nikon version, but they make it compatible for most bodies. I like having the dreamy Holga look with the convenience of DSLR.
