Montreal, Quebec to Niagara Falls, Ontario

Today's scenery is wide expanses of green fields, an occasional smattering of trees and large tracts of range land. Compared to what we've seen in the past weeks, it's "pretty", not spectacular. We skim the outskirts of Toronto on an expressway. It's a city of 2.5 million, but we shoot right by. We can see the CN Tower, (the world's tallest free standing structure), in the distance. We pass over a finger of Lake Ontario....and it is indeed a 'great' lake as far as the eye can see.

Arriving in Niagara Falls we turn towards our hotel and see the American Falls portion of the cataract at the end of the street. It's enough to cause a double-take. We walk the viewing pathway and the mist in the air is refreshing and amazing that it's infused in the air even at this distance.
Rainbows come and go in the watery air. One makes a full-scale arc, framing completely American Falls, with the pot of gold somewhere under the water's depths.

Standing just at the verge of Horseshoe Falls where the water rushes over the edge I  feel like I'm going with it even though my feet are firmly on the pathway.
Our hotel balcony overlooks the spectacle of water and sound. We plan to leave the glass door open so we can fall asleep to the rush of the falls.
