Spectacular winter view of Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three waterfalls forming the Niagara complex. The immense mass of water plunges 57 meters raising clouds of mist that blend with the gray winter sky. Snow and ice cover the rocks in the foreground, while in the background the skyline of Niagara Falls Ontario stands with its skyscrapers and hotels, dominated by the iconic Skylon Tower. Every second over 2,800 cubic meters of water plunge from this horseshoe-shaped waterfall, creating a spectacle of natural power that attracts millions of visitors every year.
