2014 Summer of Thrills promo postcard
The Summer of Thrills started earlier this month. I’m not sure if they have such a thing this year, but here is a promo post card I found from last year:

Falls State Park offers photo focus in highlighting ‘Beyond the Barrel’
From the Buffalo News:
It took Kenn Morgan more than six months to capture just the right shot of Niagara Falls State Park on film.
Morgan, a Buffalo resident, and seven other still-film camera buffs set out in the fall to find unique images of the country’s oldest state park.
“The idea when we started the project was to photograph Niagara Falls not looking like any postcard shots or your typical tourist shots or what we call ‘pedestrian shots,’ ” said Morgan, founding member of the Still Film and Camera Photographers of Greater Buffalo. “We wanted to dig a little deeper.”
The result was 40 black-and-white prints of Niagara Falls State Park — all shot on film and developed by hand — that will be on view starting tonight in the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center.
Note: The exhibit is from a few days ago, so the pictures may not be on display any more.
“1934 POSTCARD VIEW FROM CLIFTON HILL NIAGRA FALLS #1210”
An eBay user has an auction for a postcard from 1934 that shows the area that would be the current Maid of the Mist plaza (at the base of Clifton Hill) with the Falls in the background. Neat!
