Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America, as measured by its 188-foot vertical drop and its flow rate of five million cubic feet of water falling over its crest every minute. It is the largest of Niagara’s falls, a curving 2,600 foot-wide wall of falling water that is best seen, heard, and felt from the deck of a wet and rocking tourist boat. I did not want to make a picture of just the waterfall itself. I wanted to also express the awe-inspiring experience of viewing this iconic scene for the first time. Using a 24mm wideangle lens, and standing next to my daughter as she was explaining this incredible sight to my young granddaughter, I captured this silhouetted gesture as she eloquently pointed towards the scene. I saw this gesture as a symbol of wonder. It does justice to the sight before us.
