07 Horseshoe Fall
Horseshoe Fall
This is a closer view of tlie Canadian or Horseslioe Fall. While it is called Horseshoe, the curve has little resemblance to a horseshoe ; it has more the shape of an inverted letter „A.“ A magnificent rainbow is almost constantly playing across the face of the Fall, occasionally widening so that the whole sweep of its prismatic beauty covers the Fall like a protecting arch of glory. Looking upward at the massive, frowning cliff with the spray wetting our faces, the roar of the cataract is so great that it prevents communication save by signal and pantomine. The estimated depth of the water where it plunges over the precipice of the Horseshoe Fall is 20 feet.
