fyrrylikka's photostream  

A bit on the lighter side for Monday morning........
Notice the man sitting on the ledge. It was a long way up to retrieve his car. :-DDDDDDDDD

Some tall buildings on top of the hill at Niagara falls that we saw on our way out of our parking lot.

....... as seen from the Skywheel - shot at different heights and with different zooms.

........ but where is the sun? Aren't you glad I didn't upload ALL the photos I took?

..... to my flickr friends and those who have yet to join flickr who have faithfully checked out my photostream that has now surpassed 25,000 visits.

Sitting in the slow moving Skywheel "cage" felt very safe, unless of course you suffer from claustrophobia or the fear of heights. ( Of course the Titanic and Concordia were considered safe as well) They advertise glare free windows for optimum "Picture taking" but don't say they are not necessarily clean.
Will I ever get to the "Falls" when it is both warm and SUNNY. Those of you who have followed my "trip" on flickr will have noted that the morning was very sunny during our drive to the Falls. Here the only time the sun peaked out was while we were at lunch . :-(

Stay tuned for more photos of the "Falls".

At Clifton Hill (in front of the Dinosaur Miniputt) you can take a ride on Canada’s largest observation wheel, the Niagara SkyWheel. Towering 175 feet (53 metres) over the Niagara Falls horizon, the Niagara SkyWheel is the newest, most exciting way to see Niagara Falls. From this vantage point you will be treated to memorable views of the Horseshoe and American Falls, the Niagara River Niagara Parks and other landmarks.

The Niagara SkyWheel is a world-class ride featuring fully enclosed gondolas, each equipped with heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort and enjoyment...

The ride duration varies from 8 to 12 minutes with spectacular aerial views for miles in every direction. .
When we went on the ride there were only 4 of us. I thought we would have to wait for more people to come - but no - they took just the four of us and gave us the thrill of a lifetime.
