‘Maid of the Mist’

These boats run from the American side into the basin of the powerful Horseshoe Falls, with passengers wearing blue ponchos to keep them from getting totally soaked, unlike the Canadian equivalent (Voyage to the Falls), whose passengers are dressed in red. The tour gives a panoramic view of all three waterfalls — Horseshoe, American and Bridal Veil — from water level.

OMG I can't image people wanting to do that! Great shot of what looks like a shipwreck waiting to happen!

They're taking a group shower with clothes on. The whole adventure is "made" of mist.... while on the boat, you can hardly use your camera. Great capture of the adventurers and the mist. ~VVVVV+++~

Looks choppy. They'll need those waterproof coats!

This makes me wonder if I did this when I visited the falls 60 years ago. Cannot remember. Time to go back and see it again.
