    Because the Great Lakes flow to the east.
    Start a petition, maybe Disney would build one out west.

    Oh yes, Jamie, lovely picture, when I lived in Buffalo, we even visited Niagara in winter, we would go there, stay for awhile, rush back into the car, put the heater on, warm ourselves, again go...sheer fun...but brrrr cold;))

    You are 200% correct, Niagara view is stupendous from Canadian side, we went around 6 times to Toronto, it was a short drive from Buffalo, Jamie;))
    ( we had Canadian visitors visa for 6 months;))

  • Seriously, you should get another visa :) you're both welcome to stay at my home, you'd like it here. I don't put that offer out to many :)

    California gets water from all over and there is a big ditch to carry it to the people. They put blue lights in the water so while you are driving on the freeway you can wonder "WTF is that?"



    This is called "Los Angeles Aqueduct Cascades".

    Recently I read a book about William Mulholland and the failure of the St. Francis dam in 1928. Your photo and answer reminded me of it.

    I'm sure there is somewhere. It is probably just hidden on private property somewhere in the north.

    Because they didn't call that area, California!

    Magnificent spectacle though - even though I have to rely on photographs to enjoy it. Like that of Jaimie's - for which, Thank You!
