USA - Niagara Falls


This one was sent by Bonnie! This spectular view of the floodlight Prospect Point shows the cascading waters of the American Falls, one of three waterfalls that together are known as Niagara Falls, which is located between the lakes Erie and Ontario. The combined falls form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 50m (it's not too high, but very wide); the Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age). She told me that she has been to the Falls many times when child and even now with her kids.
