I have visited Niagara Falls a number of times. While the majority of these photos are from a visit to Niagara Falls with Andrew in 2010, in which we visited my friend Clint, there are several other visits as well. These include visits with Yvon and I in 2003, when we were driving around Ontario and visited for a day, and two visits in 2018. Also a few from when I went to Clint's garden party in 2006, and from a drive to Niagara Falls with Gregg in 1990 (which I suppose is probably my first visit to the falls).

The falls and the river (30 photos) - The area around the Niagara falls and river is, of course, the main attraction in Niagara Falls, and has been lovingly preserved by Parks Canada. This series starts with a few photos from a trip Gregg and I made to the falls in 1990 (I remember telling someone who took our photo that we were from Calgary for some reason), continues with some photos of Yvon and I near the river, and finally, with Andrew in 2010.
-
Central Niagara Falls (25 photos) - Around the falls, a bevy of attractions, casinos, hotels and shopping have sprung up, mostly in poor taste. These photos show the various buildings, good and bad, that surround the main attraction. All from 2010.
-
Clint's Place and downtown Niagara Falls (47 photos) - This group of photos mostly includes visits to Clint's lovely house, including a visit with Yvon in 2003, when I went to a party there in 2006, a visit with Andrew in 2010, and a few shots from Robb's 50th birthday party in 2015. The series also includes images of "downtown" Niagara Falls, centred on Queen Street, is where the locals hang. It's a typical small-town Ontario kind of landscape, thriving somewhat more these days than in the past few years, and populated mostly by locals.
-
Niagara Glen Nature Reserve (29 photos) - North of the whirlpool on the Niagara River, there is a metal staircase that descends to the Niagara River, moving down amongst great boulders that little the landscape. Clint took Andrew and I down there for a walk in 2010.
-
Niagara Falls in Winter 2018 with Yvon (87 photos) - Yvon and I drove to the fall on a brilliantly sunny Friday in January. We visited Queenston Park, various lookouts along the river, and the fall and the icy trees around them. We went up the Skylon Tower, before having a lovely and relaxed dinner with Clint. The three of us did a brief tour of the Winter Festival of Lights.
-
Niagara Falls in Spring 2018 with Quin, Elmina and David (47 photos) - These photos are from a visit at Easter to the falls, and include the falls themselves, the "Journey Behind the Falls", a visit to the Butterfly Conservatory, and a visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake.
-
Niagara area (25 photos) - These photos are of the areas around Niagara Falls, including wineries, a visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake, and other various and sundry from several trips.
-
St. Catharines (88 photos) - These photos were taken in 2015. Statistics Canada considers Niagara Falls and St. Catharines as a single metropolitan area, and I had never really visited the core of St. Catharines, and I thought that this gallery would be more complete if St. Catharines was represented. These photos are mostly downtown St. Catharines, but also have a few shots of a cemetery on the east edge of town, and of the Welland Canal.
