How Cold is Cold? 1911 Photos of Niagara Falls

As the story goes...a great-grandmother told her family that she and her neighbours woke up in the  night feeling something was wrong.    It  took a while but they finally realized that it was the  lack of noise. 

They had all become so  used to the roar of the falls that the silence was  unusual enough to alert their senses.  Of  course at that time nearly all the houses were near the  falls.  Amazing pictures!  Almost 100  years old.  Can you imagine walking on Niagara  falls?
