Having always lived here, the fascination with Niagara  Falls to tourists has always been a foreign (heh) concept.  We live right beside a place everyone in the world can only hear about or see on TV and no one really cares.  For many who live here, it’s over-hyped for what it is.
Miklos, on the other hand, came here when he was a boy and still loves the Falls even though he’s probably driven by and seen them hundreds of times more than the people who’ve lived here their whole lives. Â My own parents, for example, almost never visit them.
Those of us who take pictures in Niagara regularly each have about 3 or 4 of this shot:
For me, that rainbow in the mist (or as it was last night, actual fog) is about as magical as it gets. Â I’d have taken a shot of it illuminating the Falls themselves if the fog hadn’t been so thick that you couldn’t even see them across the street.
Best colours to illuminate Niagara Falls: Tri-colour popsicle colours (white/blue/pink)
Worst colour: Green, makes the Falls look like a slimy sludge
