This is only a four-second video. It was taken by Carmen within 6 feet of the point at which the Niagara River drops over the Horseshoe Falls. The lack of detail gives this video great, dramatic force. The water going over the Falls is black, you cannot see the river bed and you cannot see the base of the Falls, one hundred or so feet down but obscured by the mist. And the only sound is the roar. The lack of detail makes the video ominous. When I first saw this, it gave me chills up my spine...and I don't get spine chills often. This is the best video I have seen that captures the awesome, dreadful power of the Niagara Falls.
