This pic is absolutely awesome.

This is sooo cool. I don't remember seeing it look like this though.

In 1961 the Robert Mosses power project opened and....."Put very simply, we divert water from the Niagara River—up to 375,000 gallons a second" During summer months this translates to about half of the original flow of water being diverted before it even reaches the falls, In winter months (off peak tourism) as little as one quarter of the original flow makes it's way over the falls. Generations have never seen the majestic falls at it's full splendor. Quote source - www.nypa.gov/facilities/niagara.htm

I like this photo

This looks more like the American falls, not the Horseshoe Falls. It has the same rocks at the bottom and it would be difficult, i think to get this angle of the Horseshoe falls because you'd have nowhere to stand--there's only a huge basin of water beneath it, whereas the American Falls, you can go to the bottom below it and take a picture like this. I think this is that American Falls, or at least the section between the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls, taken possibly from the Maid of the Mist as it passes by the American Falls on the way to the Horseshoe. It doesn't look like this now, because parts of the landscape were blasted away. i could be wrong...

As poetdiva poetdiva said, this is the American Falls, not the Horseshoe Falls.

"Panoramic view of American and Horseshoe Falls (2011)"                                   by mbell1975


Niagara Falls is often categorized by these three names: [1]

American Falls (between Prospect Point and Luna Island) far left
Bridal Veil Falls (between Luna Island and Goat Island) mid left
Canadian Falls (between Goat Island and Table Rock) far right
(Most of the Canadian Falls is also called "Horseshoe Falls" due to shape)

There is another photograph by William Henry Jackson of this same view (and likely taken at the same time), captioned "A boat approaches the base of Niagara Falls, 1901", which is managed by Corbis.
