you can see the depth of the water at the crest is really not thick (at least not at the point this photo was taken)... about 6 inches.

Here is something I've always wondered. The water in Niagara falls seems to have the color of green glass. In most other falls,the water looks blue or clear. Is there something to this, or is this just my imagination?

That is interesting. Wonder if it affects the wild life in the water.

I've noticed the finger lakes take on an aquamarine color under certain light conditions in the winter, especially shallower areas.

That's an awful lot of food coloring! Just like the chicago river at St Patty's day!

i'm either missing it somehow, or it simply isn't 'there' - i tried to find the FAQ referenced in this post, but all i got when i clicked on the FAQ at the top of the page was generic forum info - nothing specific to niagara falls.
