maid of the mist

Beneath the rainbow with Canada in the background, the Maid of the Mist ferries passengers for a closer look at Horseshoe Falls.  It was amazing to watch, on television from the comfort of my hotel room, Nik Wallenda walk a high wire 200 feet above the river at its widest point  at night (from the United States into Canada June 15, 2012) -- just a week after I was at that spot on the Maid of the Mist.
