Niagara Falls part 2

Some more from today's journey...

We reach the fix for the last course change, and head down towards a thin layer of haze.

Image

An impressive wind farm... this is a good location; lots of steady wind.

Image



These beautiful raggedy clouds had little effect on the framerates... ;D

Image


A good solid touchdown, and pretty fast work getting to the gate. Time to get to work...my toolbox was un-plundered when I picked it up at the carousel... cool.


Image



I check in at the hotel, and take a little break to stroll out onto the pedestrian bridge to Goat Island, which lies in the middle of the Niagara just upstream of the American Falls. Here's the view looking upstream...the steady dim thunder of the falls is very pleasant here.


Image


Eventually I have to go face the music... ugh. But it turned out to be a piece of cake. And the best part: the site is right around the corner from the hotel (and those knuckleheads were going to put me up across the border... ::) ).
Cracks me up that another tech fled in terror from this one; it wasn't too bad, really. ;D

Some more nice shots!! :)

  Did you bring your barrel to go over the falls? ;D

 Never been to Niagara Falls but, will have to make a little get-a-way there for the Wife and I. ;)  Drop the Daughter off at the In-Laws and make it a 3rd honeymoon!! :)  ( Been on the 2nd honeymoon already. )

 Enjoy the sites and don't forget to take a ride on the Maid of the Mist!!

The signature of every Hard Rock Cafe in the world... a Cadillac embedded in the wall. ;D
