Wow, the pics are incredible!!!!! The rainbow in the water falls - stunning!!!!

Where the hell is that in Canada, I want to go there right now.

To all the fandoms I can't say anything, because I don't know nothing of them. But I want you to know that I appreciate the beauty of the pics and that I'm happy for you to have experienced such wonderful nature.

Edit: Just watched your album, Niagara falls, my dream for the future. You must have a very good camera for your pics are really professional, my camera wouldn't have gotten the rainbow so colorful. Very awesome pics.

Thanks! And, yes, it's Niagara Falls -- the Canadian side. I mean, truth be told, the falls are totally touristy. They're still stunning, and impressive, but it's not ragged nature anymore, with the viewing platforms and the boats and helicopters and high-rises. But still worth a visit.

And, well, even if you don't know the fandoms, just imagine your favourite show and your favourite actors, and you might be able to understand how amazing it all was.

I have an SLR camera: Canon 550D with a pretty high-end lens (Sigma 18-50mm). And admittedly, I also tweaked the photo a little with a filter or two. The photo is also a panorama shot, assembled from several separate ones. But, yes, the view was very stunning, and we also lucky enough to have great weather. All in all, a great trip!

You got some really gorgeous pictures there. That one with the horses is particularly striking - very dramatic. I'm so glad you had such a great time! I don't have the boldness to try for half the opportunities you did when it comes to meeting people I admire, but wow, your hard work on the campaigns and research beforehand really payed off in some awesome experiences. I'm glad things came together so well for you!

Thanks! It was such an amazing trip, one of the best I've had. And I must admit, it's always lovely if some of your hard work pays off, even if you do it voluntarily. But I've also found that good things don't always just come to you, that often they happen when you put some effort into it. And it's worked out marvelously here, so it can be worth it when you move out of your comfort zone a little every now and then. :-)

WOW! That's amazing! Jealous!
I'll have to sit down and read your account properly later. :D

Oh, please do! I can imagine you're jealous. I would be too if it had been someone else. :-)
