Niagara Falls

I've been a busy busy Guy this Summer, just one of the many things I did, and the places that I have been lucky enough to see, Niagara Falls was one of them.

My friend and I drove from Oshawa to The Falls, and despite a bit of a mix-up in our route, we made it there with fair timing, and great weather.

 Beautiful Sky, just picture perfect weather.

 Some of the Hotels along Niagara Parkway.

 Horseshoe Falls from the back, so technically, the Niagara River.

 The C.N. Tower! hahaha Nah, It's another hotel, The Falls, as one might imagine, are a very touristy location.

 Falls from behind again, with a ton of mist.

 The "Maid Of The Mist", not hard to see where it gets that name from.

 The Captians of the "Maids" have to be very cautious of dangerous water currents, such as the eddy forming near the ship, Left of Centre Frame.

 The American Falls, with Two Maids of the mist, coming and going.

 The way that Niagara Falls is set up it really reminds me of Las Vegas, Lost of tourist shops, Casinos, and hotels. Plus the fact many people get married, or honeymoon here.

 All the hotels.

 The American Falls

 Me, Obviously, infront of the American falls.

Brave people, the captains of the Maids of the mist.

P.E.I. Cont.!

Given that PEI is an island filled with different waterways, there are many, many bridges. This one is a foot bridge near the french side of the island.

 The only thing that I knew about Prince Edward Island, before I went, was that there was the "Confederation Bridge" linked it to New Brunswick. 

 The bridge is Nearly thirteen Kilometres long and is Canada's Longest Bridge.

 Red Shores...

 The Doucet House, one of the oldest houses, if not the oldest, on the Island. Parts were built during the seventeen hundreds, but some of it had been restored.

 Now part of the "Farmers Bank of Rustico" The Doucet house serves to educate people on traditional Acadian Living.

 Apparently Large cruise ships like this are not uncommon in Charlottetown, a city with a population of only thirty thousand.

Near Cavendish.

Having never seen Sand Dunes, and Tidal pools, going to Cavendish on my second last day with my Nana and Uncle was a real highlight of my trip. This was taken at Cavendish Beach, with the tidal pools in the foreground and the Dunes in the back.

The water Within the Tidal Pools was so clear, I could hardly believe there was water there at all....

 The Boardwalk leading into the dunes and the beach from the parking lot can just be seen at the top. Although there was no trail through where we walked, we had to make our way over the rocks and tidal pools to get to here.

 Behind the dunes, they are covered in a grass that helps to keep them safe from the elements. This grass is actually very fragile and walking on the dunes, and the grass, is prohibited in order to protect them.

It seems that Inukshuk building was very popular on the Island, likely due to the large amount of tourists.

"When In Rome", This is the Inukshuk that I built, My very First one!

Red sand means Red cliffs!

Green Gables! This house was the house that the story Anne Of Green Gables took place in. As not many of us had read the books, we decided to not take the tour, surrendering that it would likely have little meaning to us and would therefore be dull...

The water Within the Tidal Pools was so clear, I could hardly believe there was water there at all....

Lake Scugog, and Boating

Myself and a couple of friends decided to go for a bit of a bike ride yesterday, 60 Km later I`m home.

Our First Landmark...

The Erm... Cock-Mobile....

In the very Centre of Raglan, The, Vehicle, is a noticeable Landmark/Mascot for the Country Store/General Store there.

 Gary Climbing the Purple Woods Hill.

Mike doing the same.

 Lake Scugog

 This Place Looks like a great area to retire in.

Thats Probably the reason why the majority of the people that we saw while there were senior citizens. The downtown area is mostly made up of small cafés and boutiqué shops.

 Some Spider really went to town on this Bush 

 Kayak Fishing on the lake. This guy was out on the water for the entire time that we were there, so about 2 hours. Great weather for it though so I really can't say  would do any different.

 Beautiful Views along "Old Simcoe" road. 

Train!

 After Seeing how much fun That Guy was having on his Boat I decided that  wanted to go out on my own too. And by happy Coincidence Mat happened to call and he wanted to do just the same thing! The water at McLaughlin Bay was a bit choppy but still very nice to be on after a long and hot day of biking!

 My Fine Vessel!

The Curious Seagull!

This little guy must have been really hungry when I took this Picture he must have been no further from me than i could reach.

And What sort of Canadian Photographer would I be if I saw this great Photo Opportunity and didn't take it?

Anyway all-in-all Despite some more sunburn, and a great thirst following my day I think it was totally worth it!
