Monday Geology Picture(s): Niagara Falls circa 1928

Niagara Falls circa 1928 #1.

For last week’s Monday Geology Picture I shared a picture that I took of Niagara Falls in 2005. The glacially-carved falls have been attracting tourists for many, many years. This week, I am sharing some black and white photographs of Niagara Falls that were taken in 1928! These pictures were sent to me by Ann of the blog Ann’s Musings on Geology and Other Things. Ann informs me that these are family photographs of hers that she scanned. Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful photographs with me, Ann… and for letting me share them here on Georneys!

Monday Geology Picture: Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, Summer 2005.

I’ve only visited Niagara Falls once. I visited the American side of the falls for a few hours back in 2005 when I went with my mom, dad, and sister on a roadtrip from New Hampshire to Ohio. We drove to Ohio to pick up my parents’ new dog from a friend who had a litter of puppies. I didn’t have a very good camera back in 2005, so I only took a few pictures of the falls. I ran across the falls pictures when I was browsing my folders of pictures for a “Monday Geology Picture,” and I decided to share the above picture with you. I like the above picture because the falls almost look as if they’re falling from the sky… from the clouds, perhaps. Does anyone else have good pictures of Niagara or other famous waterfalls?
