These were taken at the whirpool while on the Spanish Aero Car (aka cable car!)
The Aero car was designed by a Spanish engineer, Leonardo Torres Quevedo and has been in operation since 1916. The cable car is suspended from six sturdy cables and it is a wonderful view of the Niagara Whirlpool which is formed at the end of the rapids where the gorge turns abruptly counterclockwise and the river escapes through the narrowest channel in the gorge.
Because of the winds and the time of day, unfortunatley we didn't get to view the usually whirpool action, instead there were several small ones going in various directions. The view was still amazing.
Olena and I loved it, Jason on the other hand...well he is afraid of heights so this wasn't one of his favorite events :)
