Niagara Falls - first impressions

Niagara means "Thundering of Waters" in the tongue of the Native Americans, who experienced the incredible power and magic of this wonder of the world first. I was also very impressed and could not stop watching the titanic masses of water falling down the cragged cliffs every second, roaring like hundreds of lions while turning color from a dark emerald-green into a dazzling white, and when finally getting smashed on the bottom rocks, scattered to feathery clouds of lucent mist, awfully iridescenting when interfused by the sunlight.
