Niagara

I spent a few days in Niagara Falls. It's such an odd place full of attractions you would expect at the British seaside. There are amusement arcades, fairground rides and too many haunted houses to count. It's kinda gaudy but has a charm that's hard to describe.
The falls are impressive at this time of year. I was suprised how much was frozen given the speed of the running water that cascades down to flow into the Niagara river. The pictures of the frozen ice were taken from the centre of the bridge between the US and Canada.


We had dinner in the revolving restaurant at the Skylon. I love the Skylon in all its concrete glory. It was built in 1965 and feels very "Jetsons" like in its utopian futurism. I wish more 60's concrete had survived to the present day.
