This particular Friday evening, a good friend of mine was feeling a little bit down. I suggested that we go to Niagara Falls on the phone as a joke. He said it wasn’t a bad idea. I thought he was joking until he phoned me again asking me where to pick me up. As you can tell by the description, we live in Toronto. We are only a little bit more than an hour away from Niagara Falls, which is extremely close to an almost-”one of the wonders in the world”. We picked up 2 more friends and headed down QEW along Lake Ontario. We arrived shortly after 10 PM and took a stroll around the falls. We’d all been to Niagara Falls before. Especially with family members since anyone who visits Toronto almost certainly will go to Niagara Falls. As we walked along Clifton Hill (the tourist area of Niagara Falls), we approached a bright ferris wheel. I saw a bench in the middle and had a cool composition in my mind where lights are reflecting off the rain droplets on the metal. In a way, this photo means a lot to me. It reminded me of John 1:5. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”
