The Frozen Niagra Falls

Niagara Falls 98 Years Ago
Margaret writes:
Her mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year.
She told the family that she and her neighbours woke up in
the night feeling something was wrong.
It took a while but they finally realized that it was the
lack of noise. They had all become so used to the roar of
the falls that the silence was unusual enough to alert their senses.
Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the
falls. Amazing pictures! Almost 100 years old.
Can you imagine walking on Niagara falls?






These are indeed very rare photographs, sent by Prakash Bhartia.
Seeing them makes me feel that our efforts put in the blog is worth it.
WE would have otherwise never seen these photographs.
Thank you Prakash and the others.
