Sights in the Niagara Peninsula John Iwan Hartig

There are splendid sights in the Niagara Peninsula. It is a pretty area in which to live, especially for a scenery photo-buff like me. I've put in a lot of mileage over the past 20 years during my spring and autumn photo jaunts. Winters are okay too, but I like spring and autumn photography the best because I do not have to keep my camera under my coat. Oh, and before I forget, I like spring and autumn the best because they are the most colourful times of the year. Let me give you a brief Overview first of all of some the significant landmarks and scenery within Niagara. Highlights include Ball's Falls, a hidden wonder near Vineland off Hwy 24, Jordan Village with quaint shops, Port Dalhousie with its two lighthouses and marinas, Morningstar Mill with the Decew Falls and the working pioneer gristmill, Niagara-on-the-Lake, voted the prettiest town in Canada in 1996, Queenston Heights, famous for the War of 1812 and now a lovely picnic site, and of course, Niagara Falls, a very loud and awe inspiring sight, and the seventh wonder of the world, and honeymoon capital.
