Something about this feels very retro-futuristic, at least to me.
Eye of Heaven
A photo of a total solar eclipse taken through the clouds at Niagara Falls, April 2024.
Arches
Looking to the Future
The little chemtrail from the thing in the sky, the colors, and the general shape of the buildings here makes me think about 1950s retro-futurism: chrome-plated everything and smooth, rounded edges with sharp points.

Metro
Off-Kilter
No matter how you try and reconcile this photo’s rotation, something seems off, at least to me.

Perpetual Rainbow
I have to wonder if the rainbow always shows up at Niagara Falls as long as it’s sunny out. There’s so much mist in the air here.

The Barge
This barge has apparently been stuck in the river near Niagara Falls for years and years. It’s supposed to have rusted away and fallen apart by now, but I suppose it’s taking its sweet time.
