To conclude the summer of 2007 we drove across the New York State to get Niagara Falls, and to a limited extent southern shores of Lake Ontario. In Niagara Falls we met up with Francis and Lisa and visited most attractions in the area, including both American and Canadian Falls, Cave of the Winds, the Maid of the Mist, Walk behind the Falls, etc, etc. Soon enough me and Andi got fed up with the tourists, crossed the border into Canada and visited the historic Fort George south of Niagara-ON-the-Lake, and St. Catherines on the shores of Lake Ontario.

All photographs taken in September 2007 at the District of Columbia’s National Mall. It was a clear crispy night with pretty strong winds which forced me to shield my camera positioned on a pretty flimsy tripod. All photos taken with Canon Digital Rebel with a Canon EF-S 17-85mm F/4-5.6 IS USM lens. Shot into RAW and post-processed. Click on the images to see a larger version.
