Niagara Falls, 2002
Last Updated: September 5, 2002
On Labor Day, Mei and I went to Niagara Falls. I noticed in
the Ulysses book "Hiking in Ontario" a mention of the
Dufferin Islands, just south of the Horseshoe Falls. We
decided to drop by the islands and take a peek.
Turns out Mei had been to the Islands. They were okay, but
they're certainly not worth a trip on their own. However,
if you're there anyway (the islands are next to one of the
further away parking lots), it's a nice little walk through the
islands. I found the walk from the falls to the islands more
interesting, though. But, of course, the walk along the river
north of the falls has the major attractions, so on a one time
visit, you might want to spend your time there.

The haze in these pictures is the spray from the Horseshoe Falls.

The Movies
My digital camera can capture short "movies." I shot a few views
of the falls. It looks like a water fall. The movies are bigger
than the images, so you may want to think twice about downloading
them. They're QuickTime movies, so if you don't have a QuickTime
player, don't even bother thinking once. The images are approximations
of the scene in the movie. Yes, two of the movies are similar.
The middle movie (the biggest) is my favorite, as the water in
the foreground rushes by.
