I have seen plenty of waterfalls in my lifetime, but Niagara Falls overwhelms them all. Not by height, because the Horseshoe Falls are only 167 feet high, but by pure volume of water--power. The Horseshoe Falls is 2600 feet across it's brink, and 600,000 gallons of water per second go whipping over it's edge. Now that's crazy. |
