The evening lights came on Horseshoe Falls. (Niagara Falls, Ontario)

Colorful and close - Horseshoe Falls, Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada. When I was about 17 my family moved to Florida from a town close to Niagara Falls NY. Recently I asked my older brother "Did they color the falls with lights at night, or was I dreaming?!" He said they did turn on colored lights. I wanted to see for myself, so my husband of 44 years took me on a trip. With the proper paperwork for Covid we were able to get into Canada. This shot was taken just as they turned on the lights, about dusk. It was hard to believe that you can get within a foot of the falls.
