Water Features in Niagara Falls, Ontario

Pretty ponds are sited steps off the boulevard. They are carefully constructed and beautifully appointed.

 There is a very large pond full of lily pads and small fish.

 Curiously, no frogs.

 When you are in the space away from the traffic and tourists, it is quite peaceful. I have been here when wedding photos have been taken. It is a lovely area for memories to be documented.

 The pond itself is very shallow and I am not sure if there is a place within for fish to overwinter.

There is also waterfalls, but not strong enough to have the water heavily disturbed. It is a good reflecting surface.

Almost impossible to see, but the tiny orange and white dots are the fish.

There are some large trees with fern and wild ginger lining the banks.

Here is an image with the focus NOT on the Falls. Plus this is another water feature that actually is US territory, but Canada gets the best overall view. That little break between the Falls is where I take many photos. It really looks far away, but I walk back and forth often.

 Here is another rarely framed shot I bet. Imagine no buildings in the background. Again, the area between the American and Bridal Falls is where I shoot many closeup images of the brink of the Falls. There are some tourists there now, but they are teeny tiny.

And here is an image that made me scratch my head. Sprinklers were blasting all over, with water running right into the street. Come on Niagara Falls Parks Department, we have been having more than our share of rain, adjust those timers. Plus it looked like rain any minute, no sun was shining.
