Description

Photograph of Horseshoe (or Canadian) Falls, as viewed from the west side of the falls. Vegetation grows in the foreground along the bottom edge at left. Just beyond it, water at the top of the near side of the falls flows. In the distance, the Niagara River flows over the east side of Horseshoe Falls. The falls span the width of the image, extending beyond the right frame. Mist rises up from the waterfall's basin in the near distance at center. The Niagara River extends back from the top of the falls and into the distance. Alongside it, land forms stand silhouetted at left.
