September 25-26 - 2017 Willow Lake, Scotland - Ontario, Canada


On Monday we moved again.
This time we went off the map.
We are at Willow Lake in
a little town called Scotland
 in Ontario, Canada.
About 75 miles ( 120 km)
southwest of Toronto




Tuesday we went to Niagara Falls.
This spring we took a tour to southern Germany.
We came across a sign that pointed to the highest waterfall in Germany.
After we had walked for half an hour we thought we could hear it, but it turned out to be a lawnmower 😊.
We said to each other that the next waterfall we are going to see is Niagara Falls and if we can’t find that we will not tell anybody. Well, WE FOUND IT  😊

We had perfect weather – a good day to get wet. 95 degrees ( 35 celcius). That is record-breaking for this part of the world at this time of the year (October 1st is on Sunday!).
(We have actually gone swimming in the lake the last two evenings).

 
The Niagara Falls are amazing. We took hundreds of pictures (many of them looked the same 😊). 34 million gallons (ca. 154 millioner liter) flows over the edge - EVERY MINUTE.










We took a couple of short videos too. They really give an idea about how massive the whole thing is.
They may take a while to load though.


 


 

By the way: 10.000 years ago the area, including all of the great lakes, was covered with ice,
and no water flowing. Then the ice started to melt, the lakes were created and water began to flow towards Niagara and the falls were born.
All because of global warming. Man made? Probably!!!
