Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Niagara: A Description Light and atmosphere are magicians who take time to show us all the phases of any landscape, and at Niagara their interpretations are peculiarly important. The evening of our first day by the falls will differ greatly from its morning; neither will he quite like the evening or the morning of any other day; and yet some indispensable aids to appreciation may be long postponed. There must be strongest sunshine to show the full glory of the place - the refulgent possibilities of its opaline falling sheets, snow-white rising mists, and prismatic bows. But only a soft gray light can bring out the local colors of its horizontal waters and its woodlands, and only the shadow of storm-clouds the vehement temper of some portions of its rapids. Night brings her own revelations - lambent, ineffable in the full, and occult, apocalyptic in the dark of the moon. Again, a wind is needed to raise the clouds from the cataracts in fullest volume, and to whip the crests of the rapids into farthest-flying scud.
