HIGH SIGHT OF THE FALLS OF THE NIAGARA Photo

Photographer’s Note

The catches of this helicopter at the time of my bateme seemed to me of such a beauty, of such a size qu it summarized for me the country, big spaces, great beauty of the landscapes.
This fog which goes up from there as a mushroom shows us L energy degagee by this water which fall into this horseshoe of any beauty.
With before you see the bar before this helicopter, and in the fog you see the boat which goes to the feet of the rocks, another strong moment of these visits.

IN WS TWO OTHER PHOTOGRAPHS WHICH ARE WORTH THE SORROW OF IT I FIND

The Niagara falls, commonly called falls of the Niagara (43°4 ′ 55 ″ NR 79°4 ′ 19.5 ″ O/43.08194,-79.072083) are a whole of water falls located on the Niagara river in the east of North America, at the border between the United States and Canada. The falls of the Niagara (English Niagara Falls) are in fact triple: “Horseshoe” (Horseshoe Falls) or Canadian falls; “American falls” (American Falls); The “wedding veil” (Bridal Veil Falls), of a less size. Although they are not particularly high, the falls of the Niagara are very broad. With a flow [1] of more than 2.800 m3 each second, they are the most powerful falls of North America [2] and certainly most known [3] throughout the world. The falls of the Niagara are re-elected for their beauty. They are also an immense source of hydroelectric energy and their safeguarding is an ecological challenge. This natural wonder, high-place of tourism since more than one century, is shared by the twin cities of Niagara Falls in the State of New York at the United States and Niagara Falls in the Canadian province of Ontario. The falls of the Niagara, as well as the river the North-American Niagara and Big lakes, appeared at the time of the deglaciation which followed the glacial period of Wisconsin, there are approximately 30.000 to 50.000 years. For this period, the area of Wisconsin was covered by an enormous continental glacier (ice cap laurentidien) which while creeping towards the south since the Eastern Canadian territory crushed and transported rocks and grounds on its course. It surcreusé valleys, sites of the future lakes, and barred others by moraines of them. During and after the cast iron of l' ice caps, the rivers had to cut through a path towards the North-West, in an upset topography, by incising new beds. The current localization of the Welland channel would correspond to an old valley. The floods coming from the Big lakes upstream formed the current Niagara river. This one not being able more to follow its old embanked valley borrowed a new discharge system then passing by a northern escarpment of glance qu' it eroded in throats. This escarpment is a face of cuesta due to a dip monoclinal towards the south [4] and to the resistance of the geological formation of Lockport [5] (- 415 million years, Silurien), resistant to l' erosion, between the lake Érié and the Lake Ontario. The lower part of l' escarpment, made up of marine rocks largely former to the last glaciation, was thus subjected to l' erosion of the Niagara river. Three geological principal trainings are with l' outcrop in the gorges of the Niagara. (Wikipedia)

Bonsoir, mon ami Thomas,
Je n'avais jamais vu les chutes du Niagara de cette façon. J'ai eu l'occasion de les admirer en 1970 durant notre voyage de noces. Il faut reconnaître que le spectacle est grandiose.
Voilà une photographie qui marque les esprits.
Félicitations.
Amitiés.
Philippe

UlfE (9000) 2009-09-02 12:34

Hi Thomas,

Stunning and original shot of the Niagara falls. The inclusion of some part of the helicopter is excellent. It gives an idea how this picture was taken. TFS and have a nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

P.S. Congratulations on your and Rosa's marriage

vasilpro (8910) 2009-09-02 12:36

Hello Thomas,
I agree with Isabela, the lower part is useless but your picture has an extraordinary impressive view, excellent presentation of the waterfalls from a very well chosen high POV.
Have a nice evening, Vasilis.

Excellent photo of one of the great wonders of nature, I would one day be able to see and take pictures too.

uauuu... excellent POV!!!

fanni (8737) 2009-09-02 14:25

Bonjour Thomas,
this is a very impressive and unusual sight of the falls! I like all the three photos taken from different points of view: this shows a full picture in a very good way.
From this point of view, this looks a bit fantastic, as if it is a crater on a distant, unknown planet!
Best wishes,
Elena

tober (3978) 2009-09-02 16:29

Hi Thomas, first of all I congratulate you for your marriage which I learnt from your intro page. I wish both of you all the best.

This photo of the Niagara Falls from the helicopter is quite interesting from an unusual PoV but the bottom part is a bit annoying. So, I find the ones in the Workshop much more impressive.

Regards,

Tolga

Bonjour Thomas,
Wonderful view of the Niagara Falls from a higher sight, which is one of my favorites themes .. It's a pity, I think, you did not crop the part in the bottom.
I like the different forms of the water.
Best regards, salutations cordiales,
Roser

Hello you both photo friends. What for an impressing photo. From this perspective I did not see the niagara falls ever. The enormous hole works frightening. Really a phantatic photo. Compliment. Best regards, Wolfgang.

danos (32708) 2009-09-05 2:04

Hi Thomas,
what a view form this POV of the Niagara's falls.I like this superb view from above,as the complementary WS that complete the whole scene.Well done.

Have a nice weekend,danos

Bonjour Thomas,
Avec l'éloignement et l'altitude, on pourrait penser à un gigantesque geyser. L'image est tout-à-fait spectaculaire. Sa qualité est excellente. Bravo.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement.

JCG (25469) 2009-09-05 6:11

Bonjour Thomas,

Un emplacement de choix pour photographier ces chutes si célèbres, un plongeon dans cette cuvette doit être bien désagréable !!! Et comme on le voit sur une des photos bonus je ne pense pas que je serai rassuré sur le bateau... Photo intéressante, merci Thomas.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et un très bon WE,

Jean-Charles

polpo56 (7980) 2009-09-05 15:24

Ciao Toto,
your high POV is excellent to show us un unusual view on this wonderful landscape.

Have a nice sunday

wamc24120 (678) 2009-09-06 12:45

Bonjour Thomas,
Ces chutes sont très impressionnates.
J'imagine déja le bruit et la fraicheur que doit apporter cette eau défferlante.
Le panache de vapeur d'eau témoigne bien de la violence avec laquelle s'abbat l'eau sur la partie inférieur. Elles pourrait être exploitées (mais c'est peut être le cas) pour produire de l'électricité.
Cordialement
Pascal

Pozdrav iz Srbije.
Hvata me strah ...
Dobar snimak, preovaladajuca boja pravi dramu ovog vodopata. Pravi trenutak snimka.
Puno uspeha u daljem radu-fotografisanju.

Hi Thomas
for sure this is the better way to see and enjoy Niagara Falls. I saw even the two pics in the WS and I liked them too.
Have a nice day

Hello Thomas,

This is an impressive point of view of this much photographed scene!
The view shows well the configuration of the site, manmade as well as made by nature...
Maybe the helicopter part is a bit distracting, on the other hand it shows the setting..!

Greetings,
Pablo -

AiresSantos (42354) 2009-09-08 23:30

Hi Thomas

Great POV, details and colours
Very well caught
Have a nice day

Royaldevon (5938) 2009-09-10 3:24

Hello Thomas,

This view really expresses the magnitude and the extent of the falls. I have never seen this point of view before. You have captured the rising mist to great effect.
I think a crop from the bottom would make it even better.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Juntas (3363) 2009-09-10 3:46

Hi Thomas. This is breathtaking. A great POV that shows perfectly the wonderful place.
I raise my glass to you and Rosa. All the best to you are my wishes. Paulo

jhm (82759) 2009-09-10 4:05

Hello Thomas,

I like your panorama view about this part of Canada.
A pity of the disturbing in foreground of the fence.
Also the area is nice for look at.
I like it the colour and the nice details of falls of the Niagara, pleasant for look at.
Good captured, nice composed excellent presentation. TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Une bonne vue aerienne des chutes mais faut absolument cropper la partie du bas qui ruine la photo
Bonne soiree JY

Bonsoir Thomas,
C'est la première fois que je vois le Niagara Falls de l'air et la vue est certainement très impressionnante avec ce grand nuage d'eau.
Intéressant à voir sont les petits îlots verts qui se trouvent contre le gouffre.
Slts, Paul

emilbo (9455) 2009-09-11 16:34

Salut Thomas,
Félicitations pour ton baptême de l'air en hélicoptère et pour cette belle photo que tu nous présentes, mais je dois te dire que je préfète encore le WS No.3 re-cadré. Belle prise de vue et superbes couleurs.
Tous mes compliments et bonne fin de semaine à toi et à Rosa,
Amicalement,
Emilius

Longroute (9489) 2009-09-13 8:49

A highly spectacular photo, I've never seen the Niagara falls from an helicopter. Quite amazing and original.
Pity for the part of the helicopter shown at the bottom... probably you couldn't avoid it.

All the best,
Donato

Giorgio (8726) 2009-09-14 0:50

- Très jolie composition Thomas avec ce PdV inhabituel les fameuses chutes prennent une allure inattendue, en tout cas un joli shoot, bravo !
Pourquoi pas en faire une vue panoramique en supprimant le tableau de bord, une idée en passant !

devimeuxbe (55930) 2009-09-14 5:51

Bonjour Thomas
C'est tout à fait impressionnant effectivement. C'est la première fois que je vois cela d'avion. L'image est rare.
J'en profite pour t'adresser tous mes voeux et ma sympathie pour ton mariage ainsi qu'à Rosa. Je viens de le découvrir sur ton introduction. C'est une belle histoire pour TE !!!
Bien amicalement

Bonjour Thomas!
Une vue inhabituelle des chutes du Niagara! Le voyage en hélicoptère devait vraiment valoir la peine!
Belle composition et vue très impressionnante de ces chutes en arc de cercle et de ce nuage d'écume qui s'envole, comme s'il s'échappait d'un volcan glaciaire:-))
Merci du partage et amicalement.

Hello Thomas -

This is truly a unique perspective and one not seen every day. I must say your cropped version is much better as the instrument panel is really distracting. Otherwise I really like it for it's uniqueness. Well done!

Congratulations on your recent marriage and many years to you both.

Thank you for sharing.
