  2. Niagra Falls! Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch...I love that old Three Stooges bit. I never knew the falls froze like that. Nice that your MM wasn't NYC related.

    Happy MM!

  3. I've been there and it's magnificant, but your pictures show much more than you can see when visiting. I love the arials. I just got a lot of spray in the face. Great pick and Happy Mute Monday!

  4. Troll- I've seen it, and it is UNBELIEVALBE. Two questions go through your mind:

    1- Where does ALL that water come from??? and
    B- Why doesn't it ever run out? And it is LOUD!!!

    I didn't know there was a tunnel under it, and I didn't know the "barrel" that the guy was in was really an enclosed pod (see photo above), and he had a friend in it with him. Even though they both survived the falls with only minor injuries, when the authorities opened the pod, all kind of stupid fell out.

    BuZZ- I LOVE the Stooges! Yeah, I usually try to do something a little off the norm. Thanks for noticing.

  5. Great job... I'm trying to think of the movie that had scenes in the tunnels behind the falls... or was that in a nostril at Mt. Rushmore? Never mind, it'll come to me.

    Happy MM.

  6. I've always wondered if the falls actually froze over. Now I know! Is there a fact in here somewhere, like NY has the most waterfalls, or the highest in the US? Cuz NYC and NF are on opposites sides of the state...

    Still pretty pics though. Ever see them in person? What a sight!! Stop by, we'll do lunch :D

    Happy MM!

  9. I tried to post a comment this morning and silly 'puter wouldn't let me! Anyway, this is definitely on my list of places to visit one day! And like that you didn't use an obvious NYC theme but iconic nonetheless! Happy MM:)
