Dracula's Haunted Castle

This is another of the haunted houses on Clifton Hill. Dracula's Castle is, like the others, filled with live actors, ready to jump out and scare you. This place looks like a lot of fun, but I just Czytaj więcej
Great Canadian Midway

This place looks like a fun carnival midway but once inside, it's nothing more than a big arcade. Most of the video games seem very dated, too. I walked around in here for a bit, looking for Street Czytaj więcej
The Fun House

This place was right next to my hotel and walking past it was annoying. It was very loud with music, laughter and silly talking being broadcast out into the street. I guess they feel they need to do Czytaj więcej
Strike!

The Strike bowling alley might have been fun, if I wasn't by myself. This area is usually bustling with people but I'm guessing January is not really a big tourist season for Canada.
Stopping by at the Hotel

I just stopped by the room to get my warmer coat, and tripod, and now I'm ready to go out for a night of photography in Clifton Hill! This was taken while walking through the hotel's parking lot as I Czytaj więcej
The Blue Moose

This big blue Canadian moose was standing just outside the entrance to the parking lot for my hotel. He made a great landmark when headed back to my room!
The Waxworks

After my walk around the Falls, and seeing nothing, I decided to see Clifton Hill and take some photos around that area. With the help of my tripod, I was able to get some really great shots of the Czytaj więcej
Not So Crowded

Even though the fog ruined my chances to see the Falls, I wasn't going to let that spoil my fun. Clifton Hill had so must to do and lots of good photo opportunities. Here, I think the fog made for Czytaj więcej
Niagara Skywheel

The Niagara Sky Wheel is another thing that the fog ruined for me. I've never been on this before but, after being on the London Eye in England, I was really eager to ride this giant ferris wheel. Czytaj więcej
It's a T-Rex!

I've still never had the chance to play the dinosaur miniature golf course at Clifton Hill. Usually, when I'm in Niagara Falls, it's night time and that's really a bad time to go golfing. I can't even Czytaj więcej
When Dinosaurs Attack

This is one of the dinosaurs from the miniature golf course at Clifton Hill standing near the Niagara Sky Wheel. I've been wanting to get this shot since my first visit to Niagara Falls many years Czytaj więcej
Pterodactyls of Niagara Falls

The dinosaurs from the miniature golf course really make great additions to shots of the big ferris wheel. I wish that more of the dinosaur figures were set up around the Niagara Sky Wheel.
Interlude 1

Meanwhile, back at home, Kathy was sending me pictures of a family get-together. Everyone was at a Peruvian restaurant to have a surprise birthday party for Ray. He wasn't there yet, if course, but Czytaj więcej
Ripley's Believe It or Not

Ripley's Believe it or Not museum was closed down for renovation the last time I was here but it's good to see the place open for business again. I was thinking of going in but decided against it. I Czytaj więcej
Interlude 2

Ray, Chris and the kids finally arrived and Kathy told me that he was very surprised and happy. I'm glad to hear that the party was such a great success.
The choice of food, however, was an entirely Czytaj więcej
Kong

It always amazes me how people will ignore you while you're walking around while taking pictures but as soon as you set up a tripod, everyone is so interested in what you're doing. Is a tripod really Czytaj więcej
Beaver Tails

Beaver Tails are one of the greatest Canadian snacks ever! It's a flat oval shaped pastry type of thin dough, shaped like a beaver's tail, and then different toppings are piled on top. My favorite Czytaj więcej
Interlude 3

Although the restaurant that they picked for Ray's birthday seemed terrible, at least they had enough sense to get a cake from Yeh's Bakery. Our family has been getting all of our cakes here for years Czytaj więcej
House of Frankenstein

The House of Frankenstein is one of several haunted house attractions on Clifton Hill. I've never been to any of them but I'm thinking that all of them are, pretty much, the same. This one has the Czytaj więcej
Frankenstein's Burger

By now, I was getting very hungry so I decided to get get something for dinner. There was a place that sold really good 1/4 pound hot dogs and very tasty soft ice cream that I had wanted to go to but Czytaj więcej
A Bad Night

Even after I went to sleep, my bad luck kept going. Around 2:00 in the morning, I was woken up by someone pounding on the door yelling that they were ready to go now. Next, another person was yelling, Czytaj więcej
Good Morning?

As soon as I woke up, I went straight to the window, hoping to see the fog had faded away and the weather now calls for a clear and sunny sky. No such luck though. This is my view out of the hotel Czytaj więcej
The Fog Persists

I took a quick shower, packed up my stuff, and ventured outside. What a disappointing morning! The fog is still here, and as thick as ever. I was really hoping it would have went away during the night Czytaj więcej
Foggy Day

Clifton Hill looks so different with the thick fog in the early morning. It's hard to believe that this is the main street of Niagara Falls entertainment and tourist district. It looks like a ghost Czytaj więcej
Who Left the Lights On?

As I stepped out onto the streets of Clifton Hill I was surprised to see that most of the neon signs were still up and running even though nobody was around. In fact, I was the only person even out on Czytaj więcej
