RISE OF THE TITANIC?
This is a view of the Niagara Falls from the point "Cave of the winds".
I saw this and felt like the Titanic has risen from the Atlantic to here after being underneath for so many years.The Rocks look like the Starboard bow of a large ship.The falls itself looks like water overflowing from a ship which is rising from the deep.
Well.. this is my perspective.. do you also feel the same way? Comments are welcome friends.
Info:
The Cave of the Winds trip takes you closer to the waters of Niagara Falls (Bridal Veil Falls)than you thought possible. You ride an elevator 175 feet (53 meters) deep into the Niagara Gorge. Then, clad in a bright yellow poncho and wearing the special footwear provided,you follow a tour guide over a series of wooden walkways to the famous "Hurricane Deck". As you stand at the railing, you are a mere 20 feet (6 meters) from the billowing torrents of Bridal Veil Falls. The rushing waters loom above you, dousing you with a generous spray as you face the .Thundering Falls head-on. Rainbows are usually visible day and night.
Everyone can experience the sights of Niagara Falls. A deck has been built 150 feet from the base of the Falls especially designed for handicapped and adults with children in arms
The Cave to the falls was dug by just people and digging tools keeping in mind any explosive would bring destruction to the natural beauty.Nature care at its best? Yes I think.

Another beautiful shot of the falls!
I like your interpretation. the birds on the water and the shadow on the rock are great.

Hello Vikram,
Very special view of this well known falls. YOu are making here a good work. Really nice to see it like this. The water seems reallyto squirt out of the rocks.
Well done

You have here a hoto with a very imaginative point of view! Your composition is nicely done. A darker sky may make this more effective.

Yo Vikram,
I'd say you did chose a beautiful spot to capture this shot. The play of sunlight on the water and the land did enhance the picture. It'd be more spectacular if the bluishness of the sky were a bit darker.

Nice picture Vikram, I like your low point of view and the light on the cliff. I've been many times to Niagara and never saw the falls from there, gorgeous point of view, Thanks for sharing.

Hi Vikram
What I like so much about this picture is that the falls does not look like one. It is an unusual & strange perspective. i also like the numerous birds in the foreground
