Not the usual view...

 But I believe that this is taken at Niagara Falls. Possibly, The Maid Of The Mists in the view.

Time for a Bracing Walk

 

After the excesses of Christmas, what could be better that a bracing walk in the countryside.

In this case, it would appear to be in Timbuktu.

Bonus - 

Meanwhile in Ipswich...

 

Today, our Nostalgia-o-meter goes back to 1962, and the Ipswich branch of the Lion's charity group ill-fated decision to build a scale model of Niagara Falls, as a charity fund-raiser.

Alas, the scale chosen was 1:1, and the water meter charges were monstrous, and the fund-raiser turned out to be a fund-reduced.

A Trip To Niagara

 

Not to be confused with A Trip To Nicaragua. Back then, Nicaragua was an angry violent country, riven by political infighting and corruption, and America was a well respected oasis of peace in a troubled world. Oh how things have changed.

However, then as now, one of the annoyances of a trip to a Tourist Hotspot is the annoying stranger who always appears in the photo... tho' in this case, daddy photographer may just be capturing her shapely arse.

Bonus - At last, the Utah Monolith is opened.

The Lesser Seen Side of Niagara Falls

Travel to Niagara Falls.

Mind-controlling fungus makes zombie cicadas lure other cicadas to a zombie fate

Niagara in Blue

"A Happy Little Accident."

Now, technically this should be called a bad photograph. The exposure rather too contrasty, and the Ektachrome slide had deteriorated and colour-shifted over the years.

But, it's made this slide (unretouched or corrected) quite like an old Cyanotype image. And I like it.

Bonus - What I don't really like, or at least, it makes me uneasy, is this.

At The Bridal Veil Falls

Curious.  People seemed to dress up smartly when visiting major tourist sites.

If you don't recognise the location...the bridge in the background is the biggest clue.

As it is now.

Bonus - Every Person in Britain Mapped

Bonus 2 -

Niagara?

Whooda Thunkit.

A tedious slide of Niagara Falls.

Bonus - Break down styrofoam in days instead of hundreds of years

Bonus 2 -

Niagara Falls in Winter

After recent news stories about Niagara Falls freezing this winter, here's a phone from, oh I dunno, fifty years ago. Niagara. In Winter.  Frosty but unfrozen.

Looks like the railings haven't changed.

Bonus - The Other Niagara

Bonus 2 - Birdsong and the ghosts of humans.
