just some impressions…

A small area that, for whatever reason, remained from deforestation and “thinning” , is now the Mac Mullan Provincial Park. The oldest tree has 800 years on its bark and was already 300 when Columbus came to America.  2013 a violent storm had knocked down a number of mighty trees, which now looks like a giant and a pituresque  Gulliver´s Mikado game. In this spectacular jungle an older Canadian was shaking his head and he said “it’s a shame”. “It’s nature” I replyed to him, but in his thoughts the trunks were already transported to the sawmill.

Each second  the content of a million bathtubs of water plunges over the edge of the niagara falls and that´s only 25% of what had flown over the cliffs in former times.

Today, the bigggest amount of water goes tot he hydro electric plant and for the tourist show they let rinse more water at daytime than at nighttime – But even the many trinkets-shops you have to pass if you want to get to the attractions can´t distroy the fascination of the falls. It is enough to avoid the ugly cornet buildings in the camera viewer and you can enjoy a great nature experience. © n.g.
