Niagara Falls is a beautiful area; we only had enough time to spend one day there, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was nice to get a bit of fall weather and see the leaves start to change. Here are some photos from the Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake portion of our weekend getaway:

Beautiful, it is on my bucket list!
Good! It should be, it’s a beautiful area
Fantastic pictures. You really acpture the feel of the area. Ir eally like the one of the grass in the vineyard. It is very vibrant.
Thank you! The vineyard area was so pretty–we wanted to stop at so many places along the way!
Good one

Thanks!
Gorgeous Autumn shots. Love it.
Thank you–we were glad we got to go in Autumn and see some leaves changing!
Beautiful pics! I love Niagara Falls, particularly at night time! It’s one of my favourite attractions that I’ve been so many times already! Congrats on being FP!
I can see why you would want to return so often! We would love to go back again. Thanks!
I spent my honeymoon at Niagara Falls back in ’85 and loved every minute of it. It is most definitely a beautiiful place to be and now, you have me longing to return. Seeing the falls at night…. it just doesn’t get any more beautiful than that!
I agree- the falls at night are so beautiful. Hope you get to return someday! Thanks for commenting!
Went last year. Awesome!
Glad you got to go! Thanks!
I especially liked the shot you made of Niagara and rainbow type look. Did you use a special lens for that pic? Nice Job!
Thanks! Micah used a 16-35mm f2.8 lens for that shot.
Love the blues in the photos. Still one of my favorite places to visit!
Thanks! I can see why–such a great spot
Was this caused by Hurricane Sandy?
Your photos are absolutely beautiful, is made me really want to visit Niagra Falls! X
Thanks! You should visit someday–it’s a great place!
I will be sure too

I did a post on Niagara a while back, my photos aren’t nearly as magnificent s yours.
Thanks for the comment! I think your photos turned out great!
Too bad about the hotel though–I will have to remember to never stay there!
Enjoyed your photos.
Thank you!
Your pictures of fall in Niagara Falls are awesome. Did you have a favorite part of the trip?
Thanks! I was a little surprised, but I think the Maid of the Mist ended up being my favorite part of the trip. It was fun to get close to the power of the falls!
Maid of the Mist was my favorite as well. http://www.segmation.wordpress.com
Lovely photos

Thank you

These are some beautiful images. Check them out, dear readers. — J.W.
Thanks for the reblog!
Thanks for taking me back to Niagara. Your night pictures are great, and the daytime ones even better. How did you get so close at the bottom, where the spray is so heavy everyone gets wet, without blitzing your camera?
Thanks, and you are welcome! Micah has a waterproof bag/case for his camera, so it worked really well on the Maid of the Mist. Glad we didn’t experience any leaks, but on the other hand, we got pretty soaked, even with the ponchos!
Lovely images. I am in love with Niagara Falls, absolutely, with its beauty and power, and I want to go there and make the opposite photo gallery of the area’s decay and tackiness, just blocks from the Falls.
Thanks! That would be an interesting photo essay–I would love to see it if you ever get a chance to do it! There is definitely a lot of tackiness nearby, it’s quite the contrast, unfortunately
Niagara Falls is in my “backyard” ( about an hours drive ) . Been there multiple times and never tire of it. The Falls are breathtaking every time. Very Historical area as well, lots to see and learn.
I can see why you would never tire of it–it’s so beautiful. It would have been fun to dive into more of the history as well–maybe next time–I’m sure it has a very interesting past!
I live about a 20 minute drive from the Falls. Even as a local, I go by there several times a year, This is in addition to the times when I take an out-of-town guest or foreign visitor to see the Falls. Magnificent. Glorious. I never get tired of it.
What a great place to have so close for guests! Glad you get to visit so often–we would love to go back someday!
Thanks for the comment, Jenna. Yes, when I have a visitor, I always take them to see The Falls! Hope you can come back soon.
Fantastic photos! Keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
Amazing Photo’s, i LOVE the coloured ones of the waterfall!!!
Thank you. We loved the color at night too!
Makes me want to go there some day. Now maybe I will. Congratulations for getting Freshly Pressed!
Thanks–we were excited to get Freshly Pressed! You should definitely go if you get the chance–it was a lot of fun!
spectacular.. i hope to visit it one day..
Thanks! Hope you get to visit–it’s a great place!
Amazing images!
Thanks for sharing
Rohan.
Thank you!
I grew up on Grand Island, an Island on the Niagara River just above the Falls. It really is a spectacular area and I have a lot of great memories from being raised there. The winters, however, were long and cold but visually beautiful when the ice and snow formed and fell around the cascading water. Great photos…thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I wanted to make it over to Grand Island, but unfortunately didn’t get a chance. It sounds beautiful though! And sounds like a fun place to grow up too! I would love to see the falls in the winter–the ice and snow would add such an interesting effect.
So beautiful!
Thanks!
Nice snaps! I looove every single one.
Thanks–we appreciate it!

Too bad the American Falls are only visible from Canada.
Thanks for the reblog! I agree, the view from the American side isn’t near as good as it is from Canada, but the nature around the American side seems so much better!
wonderful pics…. <3
Thanks!
Wow, I had no idea they lit up Niagra Falls at night. I’m not sure if you’re a fan. but I can’t help but think of ‘The Office’ when I see Niagra Falls. Great shots!
Yes! I love The Office–such a great show! I kept thinking about that when we were there
I live in Toronto and I make it a habit to go at least once a year to Niagra-on-the-Lake and the Falls. If you ever go back make sure you go to a local winery, there are several. they offer wine tasting and tours and they are absolutly beautiful to walk around and take in the vinyards.
We went to Toronto for a day as well–we really enjoyed both areas a lot! I would love to visit one of the wineries. They looked like a lot of fun when we were driving by–will have to put in on our list for next time. Thanks!
beautiful, would love to go if I get a chance.
Thanks! Hope you get the chance to go!
I absolutely LOVE Niagara Falls! It’s breathtakingly gorgeous. If you ever get the chance, take the Behind the Falls Tour. It’s such a intense feeling to be that close to something so powerful.
That sounds like fun–thanks! We will have to do that next time, I’m sure the power is even more intense behind the falls!
Viewing your photos of Niagara Falls is the next best thing to being there. Thanks!
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed them
Awesome photos, especially liked the pic with all the people in raincoats.

Spectacular photos of an iconic place!

Thanks! It is such an iconic place!
Gorgeous photos. I’ve been there twice and seeing your photos brought back some nice memories.
I love the Prince of Wales Hotel, too. I’d love to stay there one day.
I would love to stay there as well–it looked really nice. Thanks for commenting!
very nice pics
Thank you!
Oh my god! This is so lovely! I am unable to choose which one of these snaps I like the best!
Thanks! It was so pretty we couldn’t stop taking photos
These are some beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing
Thank you
stunning – I especially love the autumn leaves =D
Thanks! We enjoyed seeing autumn leaves again too–we have been missing autumn since we moved from MN to FL!
Wow! You captured Niagara with totally fresh eyes. I love this post!
Thank you!
Great stuff, really enjoyed this!
Thanks!

Hittade ett inlägg med jättefina bilder från Niagarafallen! Det är ett av de ställen jag bestämt att jag måste se innan jag dör!
Thanks for the reblog–definitely a must see destination!
Oh, Niagara is quite a special place to me. It’s been a Summer getaway for many Summers past.
Wonderful share!
What a great summer getaway that would be. Thanks!
Very pretty pictures, but the colour lights at night smack of Vegas tackiness! LOL
LOL! I can see where it could remind you of Vegas–especially with all the casinos and lights nearby as well!
I thoroughly enjoyed the wonders of this essay. Its so fresh, crisp and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
I was lucky enought to get to visit the Falls. Gosh, such handywork! The ever-present rainbows could knock the frown right off of your face haha Great post, thanks for sharing and congrats on FP!
Thanks!
I got a couple of good shots in Winter some years ago.But Autumn does look great…
It would be fun to see the falls in the winter — I imagine it would be really pretty!
Thanks for these gorgeous reminders of a great day we spent at Niagra on the lake and the Falls a couple of years ago. Congrats on being freshly pressed too
Thank you! We were excited to be featured. Glad you enjoyed the photos!
Stunning photos!
What camera are you using and are you using any editing software?
Thanks! Micah has a Cannon 5D Mark III and uses photoshop for some basic edits. However, we find we use our iPhones quite a bit too
Great to know–thanks for the tips!
Amazing!
Thanks!
Lovely photos of my hometown(s)! I grew up in Niagara-On-The-Lake but worked most of my life in Niagara Falls. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
You’re welcome
Thanks for stopping by! The whole Niagara area is gorgeous!
It is, and I miss it. I’ve just posted pics of Niagara Falls!
Fun! I will have to go check them out!
Remarkable. All are excellent, liked the photos of the streets in particular, where you were able to communicate the mood to the viewer. Good Job
Thank you
Gorgeous photos. We live in Toronto but visit the Niagara Region a lot. There is a great biking trail on the Canadian side. Several years ago I took my kids to the US park and we walked out on that lookout – they still remember it, especially the wind!
Sounds like fun! We would have loved to have gone biking and explore more of the nature around the area. Hopefully next time we can have more time!

I so enjoy this blog I had to share it with you.
Great photos Jenna! Niagra looks so amazing I didn’t know it lit up at night. Keep up the good work
Thanks–we appreciate it! Before we went to Niagara, I had read something about the falls lighting up at night, but I had no idea how beautiful and bright it would be! I was glad we stopped by to check it out after dark.
If you ever get the chance, you will have to come back in winter….the falls are stunning in February as the mist rises and freezes on everything it touches. On a sunny day, the trees and fences look like they are encrusted in crystal! Just gorgeous.
Niagara during the winter sounds beautiful! I would love to make it there one year to see the frozen mist! Thanks for the tip
beautifull
i am very marvelled
Thank you–glad you enjoyed
