Photo: Niagara River Horseshoe Falls Ontario Canada
Sunset fills the sky with soft pastel colours above the Niagara River where the Horseshoe Falls in Ontario, Canada cascades over the high rock ledge.
The beauty and power of the Horseshoe Falls in the City of Niagara Falls, Ontario in Canada can never fully be explained and appreciated until one has seen it for themselves. Soft shades of hues adorn the sky at sunset as the mist rises above the Horseshoe Falls after the water drops one hundred and seventy-three feet into the Niagara River.
The Horseshoe Falls was given its name due to the shape of the landscape which spans approximately 2,200 feet in width. In the center of the falls, the water is about ten feet deep and when the Niagara River reaches the crest, it cascades downwards at a speed of about twenty miles per hour.
The Horseshoe Falls is located on the Canadian side of the border, but not far downstream, another incredible waterfall called the American Falls sits in the State of New York. Both of these falls can be viewed from Ontario, but it is said that the Horseshoe Falls is the most impressive as ninety percent of the water from the Niagara River ends up here. ... continue below the picture...
