American Falls

The waterfall on the American side of the Niagara River is the second largest of the two falls and is referred to as the American Falls. Unlike Horseshoe Falls which spans both sides of the boarder, the American Falls is entirely located in the United States. The significance of the American Fall is its "W" shaped edge which is caused by decades of fallen rocks, resulting in the huge mound of rocks at its base.

These photos capture the American Falls from different perspecitves and locations, including Luna Island. The winterscapes are enchanting with the mounds of snow and ice that are present, while the photo of Great Ice Mountain gives the observer an understanding of how close visitors were able to get to the Falls.  The last of the photos is that of the Bridal Veil, falling so beautifully.
