    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
    Panoramic view of American and Horseshoe Falls and Niagara Falls Ontario Canada

    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.

    Wonderful photo. Two veterans of the American Civil War, flying together over the Gettysburg battlefield they fought upon and against each other, 73 years after the conflict ended. Our surviving veterans of the Second World War are almost at the same point in time. I noticed Mr. William H. Jackson's name is provided in the caption with the photo, but not the name of the other veteran. It would seem that has been lost somewhere in the shuffle. Does the Library of Congress have a record of the other veteran's name? Some minutia concerning the photo. These veterans are flying in the rear starboard side of the passenger cabin of a Boeing 247D airliner, belonging to Pennsylvania Central Airlines (PCA).

    This is nothing short of amazing.

    Poignant moment captured here. To think they experienced the American Civil War, and lived to see the Spanish-American, WWI and on the verge of WWII.

    Pretty darn cool.
