Still Wednesday 25 December

About 3.15 we left for Niagra Falls. I’ve seen the falls in summer but winter is a whole new level of spectacular. Last time was August and it was 108. This afternoon it was -5 when we got out of the car. It wasn’t crowded but there were quite a few Asian tourists there who didn’t seem to mind getting drenched by the spray. That’s quite dangerous on a day like today because if your clothes get wet and it’s -5, there’s a real danger of hypothermia. Because it’s Christmas Day, very little is open in the way of warm changing areas. We stayed away from the spray.

The fence is already coated in thick, thick ice, even at this early stage in winter.
These are the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.




By 5.00pm it was dark enough to get a good view of the lights before we headed home. They're not really Christmas for the most part, more "holiday" theme.
