Panorama Photo

... Wilkommen bei meinem ersten Fluss-Schleifen-Panorama, komplett mit einigen Starkstrom-Draehten:

Im Vergleich zu den beruehmten & sehr kommerzialisierten Wasserfaellen fand ich diese Ansicht ziemlich natuerlich und auch sehr imposant.

(Von den Niagara Fallss habe ich allerdings keine Aufnahmen, welche den Anspruechen dieses Forums genuegen wuerden.
Ein paar Photos habe ich auf Panoramio aufgeschaltet:

The visitor centre of the Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant on the U.S. side of the Niagara River Gorge offers a splendid view onto the River, the power stations in both the US & Canada & the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge: The trucks on the bridge are lining up
to pass the United States Customs.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Niagara River flows north from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. It forms part of the border between the Province of Ontario in Canada and New York State in the United States. (...) The river, which is occasionally described as a strait, is about 35 mi (56 kilometres) long and includes Niagara Falls in its course. The falls have moved about 7 mi (11 kilometres) upstream from the Niagara Escarpment in the last 12,000 years, resulting in a gorge below the falls. Today, the diversion of the river for electricity generation has significantly reduced the rate of erosion.

Power plants on the river are the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Stations, on the Canadian side, and the Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant, built in 1961, on the American side. Together, they generate 4.4 gigawatts of electricity. The International Control Works, built in 1954, regulates the river flow. Shipping on the Great Lakes use the Welland Canal, part of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, on the Canadian side of the river, thus bypassing the Niagara River and Niagara Falls.

The total drop in elevation along the river is 326 ft (99 m). The Niagara Gorge extends 7 mi (11 km) downstream from the Falls and includes the Niagara Whirlpool and another section of rapids.
