    I have my pictures of Niagara Falls on digits. Here are a few. I took so many I don't really know which are best.

    Oh, those are beautiful, Virgil! I would love to see those up close and personal some day.

    Here are some pictures, again from my parents' place...that seems to be the only place I ever take pictures anymore. The first one is of the same path to the beach I posted earlier, just a different season. I don't know how well the picture captures the contrast in color, the reds of the willow trees, the gold of the...something else. The gold comes out but the red looks a little less brilliant than it actually was.



    And these pictures, too, are of the same 'forest in the lake' that I've posted before, just frozen.

    the luminous grass of the prairie hides
    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.

    Yay, nice. Look how simple things can make great difference. We'd love to hear your little tricks ,Cales.

    Does this apply to my cell phone cam? Because all of my shots are quick ones and not by a real cam! I assure you, the sun will never notice my little cell phone cam


    for your wife thing , we shall see

    Virg, wow, i'd love to visit Niagara falls ,really amazing. The first and the forth ones are my fav.

    Some interesting info regarding the Falls:

    1) The Falls are slower at night, as some water is siphoned off for other uses

    2) The amount of mist at the Falls has increased due to the building of the Casino & hotels in the surrounding area which has affected wind patterns

    The picture to the left is the last photo of my Grandparent's house before it was sold. My rich-beyond-reason uncle apparantley thinks that three generations of memories have too high a price (My grandparent's can no longer take care of themselves, so we moved them into assisted living, and had to sell their gorgeous house because my uncle wouldn't pay to have it taken care of. Don't say that he couldn't, he has lived in three different houses during my lifetime because the first two "weren't quite right". Why do the stupid people get all the money >_<?)

    *sniffle* but I got some great pictures of the place before I left, so I will always remember my Grandparents and their beloved Lakehouse...

    Nor do I, but they are good. I would love to go there some day.

    Nice!

    I'm afraid it does... as far as the cam is concerned. Your eye, on the other hand would probably be spared thanks to the fact that a cell phone uses a screen rather than a "proper" viewfinder.

    So beautiful! They're marvellous.

    @Idril: I love the first picture, it's very good. Seems rather tranquil. Like on a painting.

    Great pics Idril. Where are you in North Dakota? It looks like the southwest part of the state to me.

    Some more pictures from Canada. (I only regret not being able to show the picture I took of the only Mountie (on a horse!) I've ever seen. Alas, when I took that picture it was night, we were very excited and some of us were trying not to squeal with delight. ... while also trying to not look like they were in any way acquainted with those of us who did squeal.)


    A canyon which is normally full of water and, of course, was close to being absolutely dry when we came by.



    Toronto, once again. This time as seen from the CN Tower. The second picture is seen through the glassfloor. Not that good a picture since my foot's in the way but when I took the picture, it was supposed to be evidence that we (my brother and I) really were standing there.



    Birds everywhere.


    Another one of the many, many pictures I took of a lake. Or alternatively, the sky.

    nice pics themis... it always seems like the falls or canyons are dry when you go somewhere. Unless you go there intentionally during the wet season. When I go in the wet season, it will be dry.
