gives me the
strangest feelings, such contradictory feelings
from such a powerful place.
It is surrounded by the tourist world of signs,...
hotels,
casinos, fun fantasy parks, museums,
movie theatres...
and every thing else to pull money from the tourists
that flock to
the falls.
...and it is
crowded with families,
kids, people from
everywhere peering over the rail,
the enormous falls pulling them
magnetically
to the rails. The air is moist and smells like fresh water,
The falls in the early 1900's would
frequently freeze in the winter
