Niagara Falls combines sublime with the surreal

From Everything Michigan:

There may be nowhere on earth with as many forms of highbrow and lowbrow entertainment as the Canadian shore of the Niagara River. This is a place that’s not content to have only one casino, two indoor water parks or three haunted house attractions. Instead Niagara has multiples of everything, especially on Clifton Hill, the fun-house entertainment district that has become the Canadian Capital of Kitsch.

But this place is more than just neon, laughter and screams. There’s also the world-renowned Shaw Theater Festival in Niagara on the Lake, the 100-acre Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens at Niagara Falls, the “Niagara Heritage Trail” with military forts and battlefields that figured prominently in the War of 1812, and a wine-making district that grows in prestige with each passing year.

And yet, with all that activity to choose from, the place to be on a sunny June afternoon is at Table Rock, where hundreds of visitors stand along a stone and metal fence, watching a wall of water cascade over the Niagara escarpment.
