Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is a set of massive waterfalls located on the Niagara River in eastern North America, on the border between the United States and Canada. Niagara Falls (French: les Chutes du Niagara) comprises three separate waterfalls: the Horseshoe Falls (sometimes called the Canadian Falls), the American Falls, and the smaller, adjacent Bridal Veil Falls. While not exceptionally high, Niagara Falls is very wide. With more than 6 million cubic feet (168,000 m³) of water falling over the crestline every minute in high flow, and almost 4 million cubic feet (110,000 m³) on average, it is the most powerful waterfall in North America
Geographically, Niagara Falls is located about Twenty (20) minutes away from the U.S. city of Buffalo and about an hour and a half (90 Minutes) away from the Canadian city of Toronto.
Some sources erroneously quote that the Niagara River has an average flow of about 12 million cubic feet per minute (200,000 cu ft/s) or even slightly more. This figure is derived from the average rate of flow (202,000 cu ft/s) of the Niagara River. This volume would pass over the falls if there were no hydroelectric water diversion upstream from the falls; however, water is diverted continuously from Niagara and this figure is approximately three times the actual average flow volume over the falls.
Niagara Falls is renowned for its beauty, and is both a valuable source of hydroelectric power and a challenging project for environmental preservation. A popular tourist site for over a century, the natural wonder is shared between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario and Niagara Falls, New York.
The river is quite slow moving in this part of Yosemite valley, in contrast to further downstream where it is a raging torrent. This makes for quite pleasant reflections.

Wrapping up the year with a dozen images from 2017 that didn't make the original cut for one reason or another.
The Tye River rises at the confluence of the North and South forks of the river, at the village of Nash in northern Nelson County, Virginia, on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The North Fork rises near the Blue Ridge Parkway at Tye River Gap and flows 8.7 miles (14.0 km)[1] east, then southeast, to its confluence with the South Fork. The South Fork also rises along the Blue Ridge Parkway, southwest of the village of Montebello, and flows east 7.6 miles (12.2 km)[1] to the North Fork at Nash.
From Nash, the Tye River proper flows generally southeastward through central Nelson County. The Piney River is a tributary of the Tye. Each forms a portion of Nelson's western border with Amherst County.[3] The Tye River enters the James River from the northwest near Norwood, adjacent to James River State Park in Buckingham County.[4][5]
Towns and communities along the Tye River include Tyro, Massies Mill, Roseland and Tye River, all in Nelson County.
To round off the Summer, I took a trip to Hardknott Pass in the Lake District. This is a shot from the second day, when all was a bit more peaceful. Quite a lot more on there way.
this is a view of the Buffalo River near Ponca, Arkansas; taken last autumn in low water conditions. the large cliff in the background is Roark's Bluff, at the Steele Creek campground.

Urban landscape or perhaps a 'riverscape' shot of Glasgow taken from Victoria Bridge over the River Clyde. Not my usual subject matter but I just loved the winter view towards the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge and Glasgow Bridge from here. I have to thank the flying gull for giving the shot a tiny amount of foreground interest. The shot suited a widescreen crop though next time I decide to shoot a view like this I'll try some photo-stitching to get more detail. Enjoy!
I saw this beautiful cottage today and wasn't sure if it looked better in black and white conversion, I have uploaded them both for comparison.
A view of the River Aire from Centenary Footbridge in Leeds. West Yorkshire, England. The bridge links the centre of Leeds with Brewery Wharfe and on to the Royal Armouries Museum.
This now is the heart of the yuppy flats district whereas previously it was the heart of the engineering and dockland environment.
On the left is a former dock which has now been harnessed as a pond full of water loving plants, with a fountain (see photo below)
The Mattagami River is a river in the James Bay drainage basin in Cochrane District, Timiskaming District and Sudbury District in Northeastern Ontario, Canada.
The Mattagami flows 443 kilometres (275 mi) from its source at Mattagami Lake in on the Canadian Shield southwest of Timmins to Portage Island in the Hudson Bay Lowlands.
Here the Mattagami's confluence with the Missinaibi River forms the Moose River, about 100 kilometres (60 mi) from that river's tidewater outlet at James Bay. The Mattagami River flows through the city of Timmins as well as the town of Smooth Rock Falls and its drainage basin encompasses 37,000 square kilometres (14,000 sq mi).
The Mattagami's name comes from the Ojibwe and means either "the start of water" (maadaagami) or "turbulent water" (madaagami).

Autumnal view of the beautiful Housatonic River, taken in New Milford, Connecticut in early November of last year. This is one of our favorite day trip destinations from Brooklyn, and the feisty Smallmouth Bass I catch from this spot only add to the view!
The submerged poles are all that are left of the old walkway at St. John's Landing.

I thought I should straighten it and then decided against it--I was the one on a tilt hoping the waves wouldn't crash too violently, my pants were already soaked by them since I decided to sit so close to the water. Normally pretty calm, these waves are the result of a barge that passed by--it threw a pretty good wake.
On the western slope of Mt. Hood, the Salmon River flows towards its confluence with the Sandy River and then into the Columbia. The entire length of the river is protected National Wild and Scenic River, the only such river in the contiguous 48 states of the United States. Several portions are in protected wilderness.
Best when viewed large, on black.
