Stepping into the glass‑walled observatory 25 storeys above the roar, the Falls rearrange themselves: a thunderous curtain by day, a living canvas of colored light after sunset. Floor‑to‑ceiling windows frame the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the churning Niagara River as they push forward toward Lake Ontario — a theatrical, ever‑moving skyline that rewards both wide lenses and quiet watching.
