It looks like the Hilton is now working on the 43rd floor (only 10 more to go).
Note, I took this picture yesterday when I said how beautiful a day it was…
Today is quite a bit cooler out, but it is just gorgeous walking along the parkway. The sun is shining and there are huge, white fluffy clouds. It’s a beautiful day for a walk!
As I’m out walking, I’m still looking around for new license plates. I’ve recently added several new plates to the License Plate Hunt list.
I’m finally caught up! With this post I’ve got all of my older pictures up. I can now start posting some pictures from my visits this summer…
If you looked at the pictures in the Niagara Falls in Winter 2007/2008 gallery, you will have seen that some of the pictures were taken at street level, and some of them were taken from the Niagara SkyWheel. I’ve put up a separate gallery of the Niagara SkyWheel itself in the Niagara SkyWheel in Winter 2007/2008 gallery. As is usually the case, you can see some thumbnails below, and the larger versions in the gallery. I did not take a separate video. The video shots related to the SkyWheel were in the video from that Niagara Falls in Winter 2007/2008 post.
Note: There are now 2,595 images in 204 categories.
So, are you sick of all this rain? How about some snow 
I took some pictures earlier this year in February/March. We had lots of snow and there was lots of ice at Table Rock Place. I took some pictures and posted them in the Niagara Falls in Winter 2007/2008 gallery. As is usually the case, you can see some thumbnails below, and the larger versions in the gallery.
I also posted a video on YouTube (2:29 in length):
Note 1: There are now 2,580 images in Niagara Falls Image Gallery.
Note 2: I only have one more old gallery to post and then I’ll be current up to this summer (less than 2 months ago)
A few things…
“Is there a shark in that water?” That’s a question that I heard a little girl ask her parents as they were walking down Murray Hill. She saw the Falls ahead of them, and asked that question
I know there was that article in the paper a couple of weeks ago about how Ripley’s was expecting their business on the Memorial Day weekend to be down 10-12%, but it seems hard to believe. There are a lot of people around these days. Mornings seem slow, but when I’m out walking at lunch, people are everywhere. On the weekends it’s obviously even busier. I obviously don’t know if those people are spending any money, but if they are here, you have to assume they are spending at least some of their money.
We should have a beautiful weekend ahead of us. Right now it is 32°C (90°F) but with the humidity it feels like it is 40°C (102°F). It is supposed to be a few degrees cooler on Saturday and Sunday. I’m sure things will be busy.
This has been a strange year for weather. In mid-April, we had some absolutely gorgeous weather. It was almost summer-like. It lasted for about a week, and then for the last month we’ve had cold/rainy weather. We are certainly used to better weather by now, but we know it’s coming.
Anyway, regardless of the weather, the flowers still come up. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve taken some pictures and posted them in the Niagara Falls in Spring 2008 gallery. As is usually the case, you can see some thumbnails below, and the larger versions in the gallery.
Yes, it’s that time of year again… the flowers are starting to come up along the Niagara Parkway in Queen Victoria Park. I noticed some flowers and shoots for the first time today. Within a month or so there will be daffodils, tulips, and crocuses all along the parkway. It’s seems like it’s been a long winter. This is a welcome site!
From the Earth Times:
The power of the Niagara Falls draws millions of visitors a year in the summer, yet this natural wonder is even more impressive in the wintertime. The cascades are like a jewel in frozen splendour and the relentless mist which rises from them wraps all the trees and buildings around in a thick coat of ice. Amid this glistening, surreal landscape, millions of gallons of green water still thunder over the rocks every second as the Niagara River plunges to a depth of up to 52 metres on the Canadian side. For visitors the icy temperatures have advantages. For a start, there is no need to queue for hours at the kiosks to see the attractions. According to the Canadian Tourist Office, some 15 million people a year take a trip to the Niagara Falls but most of them come in the summer.
It is a bitter, bitter cold day today. But the sun is shining, and everything looks pretty good…
