Niagara Falls Pictures
Niagara Falls can give one the sense of being in the center of the world. Crowding together with people coming together from various countries to see the attraction slows down time until a bit of the eternal surrounds us. Looking up at the Falls from below creates the myth of the end of the world. Watching the ever churning rapids above and below the Falls brings us back to the beginning. The strange lights and colors of the countless tacky tourist museums, shops, and games paints a garish reminder of where we are standing now. It is beautiful because when it is remembered that time and space are just illusions, the powerful force of moving water and swirling throngs of people seeking this memory fades into the gentle silence of the beginning, the middle, and the end standing perfectly still within our conscious reflections.
