We went to Fort Ticonderoga today. I took the usual mountain of pictures. I had my D90 set to auto (no flash) while we were outside. When we went into the buildings I switched to shutter priority to keep the shake blur to a minimum. When I went outside again, I forgot to switch back.
Son-of-a…
I should go back to point and shoot. I’m not smart enough for anything more complex.
My wife is the best GPS navigator on Earth. Also, I have mirrored sunglasses and a huge nose.
A road trip diversion lead here…
One quick pano of the room before we check out.
First stop on today’s agenda is the Rainbow Bridge and the US of A.
My step daughter noticed a water fountain while looking out the hotel room window. Tonight we took a walk to find it and see it close up.
We went on the Journey Behind the Falls tour today. It consisted of a platform near the bottom of the Canadian falls, and a tunnel that goes behind the falls themselves and includes a couple of places where you can walk up right near the water. Not too near though.
Here are a couple of short videos.
I’m not sure what the plan is for today. Maybe the Behind the Falls tour?
Have you see this thing before?
It’s called Skylon. There is a revolving restaurant, and an observation deck. We had dinner. We went to the observation deck. I only had time for a couple of pictures, but damn the 51st floor view of the falls was awesome.
The Maid of the Mist only runs on the US side of the Niagara River. The Canadian version is called Hornblower.
This was taken as we were pulling back into the dock. The water under the Canadian falls had already screwed up the microphone on my little Casio camera.
