Awesome pictures dude

Great pics, Pete!! Hope Mama had a great birthday weekend :)

niagara is so beautiful, went there to get married, it was nice!

Nice pics man, i cant believe that barge is still stuck there

the falls are something everyone should go see.
no matter what it's of or how good the picture is, it's just not the same as seeing them up close.

glad you had a nice relaxing weekend bud!

Great pics , thanks for sharing

I love the falls

They are great pics pete, very cool.

Because Yellow is out if style this year.

That was nice, what you did with your Mom for her birthday...and the pics are cool, too....:)

great pics pete

wow, awesome pics!

The are Raincoats so you dont get soaked from the falls

I went to the Casino this weekend for a bit. I love being close the Niagara Falls.

Should of called me We were at the casino all weekend :)

I didn't know I was going until the last minute. It was my birthday too and a few friends kidnapped me for the night.

They should do a convention @ the Falls some time.

Here are some of mine:

These are from July of 2005 ... I love the falls. The Canadian side is sooooooo much better than the American. They have gambling too. ; )

There's gambling on both sides now, but yeah...the Canadian side is much nicer. They do a good job with the park upkeep.

Plus, they have black squirrels.

nice shots :thumbsup

I love the falls

Damn pete I wish I would have known you were so close I would have stopped in for coffee at least

This is awesome!!

next time I want to go.:)

wow, amazing pics

Very Nice Pics Bro

Pete nice pics, will be going by there on May 9th on our way to the Webmaster show in Canada!


Last time I was there is was Xmas, really cold lots o ice....and snowing


:thumbsup

...nice pix!

sweet pics bro!! :)

cool pics buddy

Nice Nice, ya its fun there we had a blast

THe pics are great!
I thought Niagara is higher. But still.
did you go by yourself or bought a tour?

Oh yeah, they do have it on both sides now. I just never really notice cause the American side is so shitty. You drive past a run down water park, the butt ugly casino and some other ghetto stuff when coming into Buffalo.

Tax free gambling :)

Ohh, that's beautiful =D

Not that it matters so much now with the exchange rate being so messed up right now... but it's deceiving when you win a good amount of money and you go to change it in and you don't get nearly the return you thought you were.

"Oh boy, I won $100 or $85 American." :winkwink:

But on the flip side, it's nice to go shopping there ...

somehow i thought niagra falls was bigger than this

Its better than winning it in Vegas and then going to the cashiers cage and then when they find out you're a non-resident, they withhold 30%. At least here, its 100% tax free.

Don't forget the Black Squirrels. That's the main reason I cross the border. :1orglaugh

Wow, I didn't know Vegas did that ... huh, that's nuts.

When I won $1400 on the slots once, my machine froze and they automatically came down asked for my license and SS# so they could give me a tax form.

I couldn't play it down to $1200 where they wouldn't tax me...jerks.

Yup, withhold 30% automatically for non-residents. Residents just get the tax form for over $1200 which is fine, but withholding really blows. But then again, I try to cash in my chips in increments smaller than $1200 :)
WG

Nice shots Pete. :thumbsup

Did you guys ride the Maid of the Mist under the falls?

You can really get a feel for how powerful they are when the falls crash down right in front of your face. Nice ride on a hot day too. :winkwink:

I have always loved Niagara Falls, I must have gone there at least 20 or so times in my life.

Good to see you got some pics Pete. Sorry that we couldn't hook up over the weekend - an old friend dropped by that I hadn't seen for many years.

Sounds like you had a good time, though. Did you try the all-you-can-eat buffet at the Casino? The wife and I eat there at least once or twice a month usually.

slowly I turned.. Step by step...
