Where The Niagara River Has A Vertical Drop Of 165 Feet

Niagara Falls from the Canadian side (16 September 2017). Here the Niagara River drops more than 165 feet as it flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontaro. It was a very overcast day with wind and water spray, making photography quite difficult. I would definitely advise a waterproof camera for anyone riding the boats directly to base of falls.

Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia

Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia

Maritime sunburst lichen (Xanthoria parietina). A brightly colored intertidal marine lichen that resembles patches of gold. By far, most of the rock lichens I have photographed during my career live on boulders in terrestrial habitats. Intertidal lichens have always fascinated me because they have adapted to crashing surf and the salinity of seawater. We have a bright orange-red Xanthoria (X. polycarpa) that lives on the bark of oak trees in California.
