Skylon Tower
We would have toured the Falls by the helicopter service but the weather didn't permit us to do so. Next time perhaps. After touring the US side, I was tired but happy and I overslept so when I woke up, it's already dark to tour the Canadian side. The weather and mist were so strong for taking photos at the illuminated Falls, the lenses were wet and most shots are not worth posting here. Anyway I enjoyed the freezing temperature. That was my coldest experience ever :)
There are many ways to take in the majesty of Niagara Falls. However, no view is more pnoramic or more breathtaking than from high atop the Skylon Tower, 775 feet above mighy Niagara Falls. Three glass encloed "Yellow big"elevators travel up the outside of he Tower, transporting guests to the dome. At the top of the Tower, an indoor/outdoor observation deck offers visitors an unforgettable view of the Falls. On a clear day visibility is up to 80 miles. This awe-inspiring sight is even more memorable when viewed from he comfort of the world famous REVOLVING DINING ROOM (featuring world class dining soft piano stylings and great service), or from the SUMMIT SUITE buffet dining room (with superb brunch, lunch, and dinner buffets). In addition, the Skylon features a variety of specialty shops, casual cafes a new 3D/4D Treatre and the Skylon Fun Cnetre.... an interactive high-tech playground for dynamic family fun.

Pp: The tower is abruptly cut by the dark building below so I put a border of the same colour as the tower to somewhat unify the whole picture w/ that colour. I hope you still like it :) |

Haha, this tower is so similar to the Kuala Lumpur Tower in Malaysia. But this is indeed a good nite shot.
TFS,

Hi Freddie,
Nice night shot but you could have cropped a little the botttom part to kill that strong lamp. I like the yellow and the red tones in contrast with the black night.
So are you enjoying your vacations? Any plans for Friday afternoon? :)
Don't forget to have fun
Friendly,
Aida
Too bad it's a bit dark, but I've always loved the night pictures :)
It is definitely a ggod choice of frame.
I hope I'll see that of my own eyes, since that's where I wanna go for my summer vacations.
TFS
Cynthia
