Niagara falls - The beauty of nature
The photo also shows small yellow color objects for the keen eyed observer. These are people wearing yellow color polythene sheets for waterproofing.The day started lazily with me deciding to go touring the Niagara falls with my brother. We started at around 12 noon, stopping to get a quick bite at the krispy kreems shop and proceeded to the state of New york in northwest direction from Boston.

Then we - myself, my brother, my sis-in-law and vishal headed right to the motel where we put up for the night. The next day morning we headed back to niagara and caught the "Maid of the Mist" boat tour that promised to take me close to the "horseshoe" waterfall at the far end of the Niagara. The boat ride was amazing and was great to be near the horseshoe waterfall with water splashing on our faces. It was a moment of
