After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. Searching for meaning in my life, I abandoned my successful but unsatisfying career and set out on a six-month solo backpacking trip around the world to pursue my true passions of travel, writing, and photography. My blog features stories about the destinations I visit, people I meet, the crazy things...Read more here....

Cool pic Barbara, to get the boat coming in so close and the rainbow also. I have just posted pics of Blue Nile falls so would be good to have your pic linked in with the Water theme this week here- http://holesinmysoles.blogspot.com/2011/10/magnificent-monday-water.html
Thanks Jim: Just added my link to your photos of Blue Nile Falls. Loved that the water was the color of the coffee. you KNOW how much I want to get to Ethiopia. Someday soon…
wow
gorgeous.
Barbara — your photo is gorgeous! Such a coincidence — I reposted a Niagara Falls rainbow photo for Magnificent Monday, too. Beautiful place, isn’t it?
That is a coincidence Catherine! Just took a look at yours. Those rainbows are magnificent, aren’t they?
WOW, fantastic shot! I really need to get to Niagara Falls, it’s terrible I’m Canadian and I’ve never been.
Beautiful! Makes the falls look even more misty and dramatic.
Fantastic work as always, Barbara!
I just love this place. I feel very calm by visiting this place.
Is there a specific period to see the rainbow? For example, the rainbow shows itself from 11:00 am until about 16:00 (when sunshine, of course)?
Hi Sidney: The volume of water going over Niagara Falls, both on the U.S. and the Canadian side, is so enormous that it creates a giant cloud of water vapor/spray. The tiny droplets of water act as prisms which catch the sunlight and create a rainbow, so as long as it’s sunny, you can see a rainbow most any time. I did, however, see bigger and brighter ones on the Canadian side.
