Power of Niagara

Discussions elsewhere have caused me to think about how I compose pictures; I've come to realize that my photography often developed a theme, even when I wasn't specifically thinking in those terms. I recently scanned some film from our 1998 vacation, and I was struck by the number of pictures which emphasized the power, not the beauty, of Niagara Falls.
added: I'm thinking now I may have used my pocket camera, one of those clamshells Olympus made, to take these pictures. My first SLR, a Pentax, was ruined after it got damp at Niagara, so I've always been a little paranoid about mist since then, and I may have been willing to risk the Olympus because I was so determined to get these pictures.

This one definitely counts as a snapshot. The last person in line is my then 7-year-old daughter; in a few minutes she would be dancing with joy because her body could not contain the emotion she felt standing under the Falls on the Hurricane Deck
