Description
Niagara Falls, Ontario, is a Canadian city at the famous waterfalls of the same name, linked with the U.S. by the Rainbow Bridge. Its site on the Niagara River's western shore overlooks the Horseshoe Falls, the cascades' most expansive section.
The verdant green color of the water flowing over the Niagara Falls is a byproduct of the estimated 60 tonnes/minute of dissolved salts and "rock flour" (very finely ground rock) generated by the erosive force of the Niagara River itself. The current rate of erosion is approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) per year, down from a historical average of 3 feet (0.91 m) per year.
I photographed this image using an 18-105mm lens with a neutral density filter set to quite dark allowing for a 0.6 sec. exposure. The image combines the falls with its ever-present mist caused by the turbulence of the water as it is absorbed by the water below. The sun is obscured by the mist, yet the falls themselves are lit beautifully while the remainder of the Niagara River remains quite dark.
