Miniaturization of Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls

Graham — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:00:39 +0000

“This is my first attempt at miniaturizing a photo. The shot is of the Clifton Hill area of Niagara Falls at night. Taken on February 9th, 2010 from Skylon Tower using my old Sony DSC-H9 point and shoot.”

Visit the site to see the picture…

I believe this effect is called Tilt Shift, and I’ve posted about it before.

Construction at Kelsey’s on Clifton Hill almost done.

I posted previously that Kelsey’s was undergoing renovations, and a sign on the door said it would open Feb 2. It didn’t open on the 2nd, but will open on the 10th. At one point the restaurant was gutted. It looks to be almost done and looks very nice.

Sightsmap – How many people are taking pictures?

Graham — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:00:58 +0000

Have you ever looked at Panoramio? It is a site that Google acquired a while ago where users can post pictures of places and tag them with their location. It’s a good site to visit if you are going to travel, as you can see the sights before you go.

Anyway, the other day I came across a site called Sightsmap. It creates a “heat” map of the world based on the number of pictures are taken at a location. So a place that is popular will be so hot it is yellow. This is what the world looks like:

Here is a zoomed in view of Southern Ontario. You can see that Niagara Falls is popular.

Niagara Falls road with three names could soon just have one name

Graham — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

From the Niagara Falls Review:

A road with three names could soon have just one in downtown Niagara Falls.

Regional council’s public works committee has recommended letting the city rename Roberts St. and Newman Hill to Falls Ave., matching the stretch of road running through the city’s tourist area.

What about Victoria Ave, Ferry St, and Lundy’s Lane?

Wallenda to meet with Niagara Parks Commission officials on Thursday

Graham — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:00:00 +0000

From the Niagara Falls Review:

Nik Wallenda, the American aerialist who wants to walk across the Niagara Gorge on a tightrope, will meet with officials from the Niagara Parks Commission this week.

NPC chairwoman Janice Thomson told The Review on Monday that a meeting has been scheduled for Thursday between Wallenda and NPC senior staff.

The meeting will not be open to the public.

“It is an internal staff meeting,” Thomson said. “I will be there and our general manager and her senior managers who will discuss this project with him (Wallenda).”

Thomson expects the meeting will last at least two hours.

EXCLUSIVE: Wallenda wants to establish permanent entertainment home in Niagara Falls

Graham — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:00:25 +0000

From Bullet News Niagara:

Daredevil Nik Wallenda wants to establish a permanent theatre in Niagara Falls where he and members of his family can put on tightrope or aerial shows and other forms of circus entertainment.

“I’ve always said I want to make Niagara Falls my second home,” the Florida-based Wallenda told Bullet News on Monday. “Why wouldn’t I? Look at the crowds that come through Niagara Falls. I wouldn’t be a very good businessman if I didn’t consider something like that.”

Wallenda, 32, is part of the famed circus family the Flying Wallendas.

“It’s always been a big dream to have a Wallenda family show that runs at least all summer. Why not have a Nik Wallenda theatre with a show three-six months of the year? This has been the ultimate goal all along. This is definitely not a one-off thing.”

BeaverTails snacks

Graham — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:00:22 +0000

I don’t know how long it has been there for, but a few weeks ago I noticed for the first time that there is a BeaverTails stand along Oneida Lane (just off Clifton Hill). It’s probably been there for a while, I just never noticed it. I rarely go down or look down that street.
