• People, hard to see, but there were some mountain bikers. There is a trail to hike down into the gorge.

The second stop on my motorcycle adventure was at Whirlpool State Park. I hadn't been along the US side of the Niagara River since I was probably 10 years old. This is a picture of the upper whirlpool, which is much easier to photograph.

Note: This is the natural color of the river. I only adjusted the white balance because I was using a circular polarizer to get rid of glare.

    nice shot, zac. i am a little disturbed by the color of the water. i've been there, so i know that the color is accurate. as a scientist, i'm disturbed by *why* the water is that color. does anyone know? did you see blinky swim by? it does look nice though :)

    Ali peed in the water, which explains the toxic color ;)

    Excellent shot of this exciting area. I am still try to get someone to take the Spanish Areo Car across. At least one person said she'd wait for me if I wanted to take it. Yes, the water there is pretty much that color all right. I live much closer to the American side of the falls, but have only been to the Canadian side for decades.

    Seen on your photo stream. (?)
