Here & Here looking at There & Thete

At the corner of Dundas & Jarvis

 251 Jarvis Street, 41st floor.

The Rainbow Bridge

 The Bridge joins Canada and America.

The NF Tunnel

Who knew that they tried to use NF as a source of hydroelectric power? This building contained a huge shaft which pumped the water into turbines to create electricity. All the water was then fed into a tunnel and back into the river.

The tunnel lead to a recently constructed viewing platform.

 

Wednesday 8:40 AM

 One more night in TO,

In summer, it is Vancouver without Mountains.  But it feels the same,

Second Views of NF

 Here are videos:

I saw Hamish people at NF.

I saw Orthodox Jews at NF.

I saw so many tourists.

What did I think of the Falls? Meh!  After thirty minutes, I could have returned to Toronto.  As I said before, it was a tourist trap.  But we were stuck there until 8:00 PM because that was when our GO train was leaving.

More photos:

First View of Niagara Falls

 There will be more photos of NF.

First Impression: it’s an industrial scale tourist trap.

Tuesday 7:13 AM

 There are sights and then there are sights 

Walking down Jarvis Street, we saw a man on hands and knees looking to be licking the pavement.  A little later, at a nearby street corner, we saw a bunch of the most broken down looking people I have ever seen.  They were major league in their addict appearance.

The pigeons in this city swoop really low. On a few occasions I ducked as they flew over me.

A lot of tourists here. A lot of diversity.

There is a clothing optional beach on the islands.  On the Ferry back to the downtown, I saw this old guy who must have frequented that beach since the seventies.  Good lord, he was a sad sight.
