More Niagara Falls today. This is the World Peace Ten Thousand Buddhas Sarira Stupa Temple, or Cham Shan Temple, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It is 6 km/4 mi downriver from the Falls, but still within the city. More about the temple here: www.visiting-niagara-falls.com/chamshantemple.html I posted a similar view on Flickr years ago, but this is a different shot. I tried eliminating all the negative space here but decided I lliked it this way.

Niagara Falls, Ontario.

The percentage of people smiling is very high at Niagara Falls, at least on the Canadian side. The American side is more upscale. I once watched a show on the Buffalo PBS station about how Niagara Falls, New York, was trying to figure out how to get as many tourists as Niagara Falls, Ontario without being as crass and vulgar. There are a lot of happy people at Niagara-on-the-Lake, though, which is definitely not crass and vulgar. This is the Canadian Falls, according to Canadians, or the Horseshoe Falls, according to everyone else. It is in fact shared by Canada and the US (we get most of it, though).
