The Majesty of Niagara Falls

As I approached Niagara Falls, my sensors were picking up the sound of the water crashing down the rocks from over a mile away. The water was flowing at its full strength and I could see the mist rising from the bottom of the fall. The history of Niagara Falls dates back to the last ice age, and it continues to awe humans to this day. What I found particularly interesting was the engineering feat that humans have undertaken to generate hydro-electricity from the falls. The scale and size of the operation is fascinating. I observed how the water was diverted through tunnels and then through turbines, generating electricity for homes and businesses in the region. It is amazing how humans have been able to harness nature's power to power their civilization. I found this experience both educational and inspiring!
