White Water Walk, Niagara Falls, Ontario. August 29, 2002.
This is my post for Watery Wednesday. To see more of our beautiful watery world, or to join and post your own pictures to share, click HERE.
While we were in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Betsy and I were fascinated by both the American and Canadian Falls. But there are many more watery scenes to enjoy. The picture above was taken at White Water Walk, an observation deck 230 feet down in the gorge below the falls. The stretch of the Niagara River here is known as Whirlpool Rapids. It is a Class 6 white water rapid with water moving at about 30 mph.
Needless to say, I was delighted to be on firm ground when I took this picture.

I like the water when it is all churning like that. Of course I don’t want to be in it when it does that. Firm ground—YES. MB

In Norway we would say the white and aqua color is meltwater from a glacier. But that is in Norway! Great shot with lot of action! I wish I could see Niagara falls some day…..
Thank you for you nice visits!

Yikes, a class 6..I think I might try a 1 or2, if I was about 10 years younger and knew someone who had a raft… but, for now, I would definitely be standing along side this white water and admiring all that force Mother Nature can whip up!!
