    Default Skylon Tower

    This tower has a revolving restaurant and is located on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. I was walking over a bridge, on the American side and noticed that the setting sun was right on the tower...thought it would make an interesting pic...Olympic torch looking

    Ron,Did you stay for the Falls Under Lights & the fireworks ? The Falls with the lights during the night time is always a good show. Did you have any good WNY food? The photo of the Skylon Tower is really cool. I just saw your other post.You were there for the night time show. Take Care,Rich
