It snowed quite a bit Tuesday afternoon and overnight, and it has been cold so none of it has melted yet. This is what is looked like yesterday (sorry for the terrible cell phone picture!).
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.
So, here is the wordle for the Niagara Falls Blog main feed (with a couple of plugin-related words taken out)…
… and here is the wordle for the most recent comments …
I don’t know what this blog is for or who runs it, but the “Travel Blog” recently posted about Niagara Falls:
It’s one of the Natural Wonders of the world, and it’s less than three hours away from Syracuse. It’s Niagara Falls.
It’s a great place for a weekend getaway.
Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
It was still warm when we left NY. The leaves were already yellow in Canada, we got quite a bit of rain, and it got cold. We picked mini-tomatoes from the garden, raked leaves, drove to Niagara Falls, Tim Hortons, Pizza Pizza and Harvey’s. Sophia liked the colored lighting of the falls at night.
On the same day that I visited Dinosaur Park, I also went to the Fun House (run by Niagara Clifton Group) on Clifton Hill. I’ve commented before that it’s not one of my favourite attractions, but my sons love it, and I guess that’s what matters 
If you’ve never been before, Fun House is just that, a classic fun house. There are shape-changing mirrors, crooked rooms, giant balls, spinning tunnels and more. The attraction doesn’t take very long to go through, but as I mentioned, my kids love it.
As is usually the case, you can see all the thumbnails below (I didn’t take that many pictures), and the larger versions in the Fun House in Summer 2008 gallery.
Someone with a Wordpress blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
We have been out too – we went to Niagara Falls one day last week. We had great fun that day. We went right up to the top of the Skylon Tower for the views (see photos) then descended right down into the basement where there was an arcade. The kids had a few games there, then we walked into the town, to a section called Clifton Hill, which is just like Blackpool, but tackier! We got the kids something to eat, and then we walked back to the car along the front. It was dark by then, and the falls were illuminated. It was difficult to take photos of course, but I got a couple – you can see them at the end.
A photographer has posted some pictures from a recent wedding photo shoot in Niagara Falls:
Laura and Darrin live in Timmins and contacted us about photographing their wedding in Niagara Falls. A few months before the wedding day, I met Laura and Darrin in Niagara for some engagement photos. This was a great way to get to know the couple before the big day. I could tell that Darrin had some reservations about having his photo taken, but I think it was good practice for the wedding day as we had lots of fun roaming around Clifton Hill!
The Clifton Hill blog posted about a new contest they are running:
Celebrating the the Magical Winter Season in Niagara Falls, CliftonHill.com has launched an all new Vacation Sweepstakes Contest and Instant Win Game. The contest welcomes both Canadian and American residents to register for a chance to win valuable travel prizes.

The contest is run from the NiagaraFalls-Fun.com domain.
You may have heard that Google has added photos that were previously published by Life magazine. The announcement was as follows:
Only a very small percentage of these images have ever been published. The rest have been sitting in dusty archives in the form of negatives, slides, glass plates, etchings, and prints. We’re digitizing them so that everyone can easily experience these fascinating moments in time. Today about 20 percent of the collection is online; during the next few months, we will be adding the entire LIFE archive — about 10 million photos.
I did a search for Niagara Falls images, and there were 4 pages of pictures. Some of them are as recent as the 70’s, but some go back much further. Check it out…
From the Niagara Falls Review:
When the crew from E! News Weekend hit the road to show Canada’s cool side, they weren’t interested in moose or Mounties.
Instead, they frolicked with polar bears in Churchill, rode the waves in Tofino, B. C. and on Tuesday got misty in Niagara Falls.
With a fresh layer of snow on the ground, chilly E! hosts Arisa Cox and Jason Ruta filmed several segments in front of the falls, which will be seen during the “Cool Canada” special airing Friday at 7:30 p. m. (repeated Saturday at 7 and 11:30 p. m.)
Despite both hosts being Canadian, they’re still surprised at what’s in their backyard.
