A shot of the The Niagara Falls, a classic tourist detination in Canada. I like the combination of the magnificent water, the mist and the snow (+ I wanted to post a picture of Canada to get this country on my map). The day was grey, so colors are not great. I rotated 1 degree clockwise, sharpened, increased contrast and removed blue hue.
