Niagara Falls
The mighty Niagara Falls is famous for its beauty and is a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Balancing tourist, commercial, and industrial demands has been a challenge for the stewards of the falls since the 1800's.
The iconic Horseshoe Falls is featured in this video. Here are some measures of its size and might:
- Horseshoe Falls is almost 60m (200ft) high, and is about 800m (2,600 ft) wide.
- The peak flow over Horseshoe Falls was recorded at 6,370 cubic meters (225,000 cubic ft) per second - that's about 5,000 big bathtubs full of water every second !
- The average annual flow rate is about 40% of that, since it is a direct function of the Lake Erie water elevation, which typically peaks in late spring.
- 90% of the total flow goes over Horseshoe Falls, while the balance is diverted to hydroelectric facilities and then on to the two smaller falls:
- the American Falls and and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls (adjacent on its southern side) are included in brief cameos in the video.

A little look around the island from Hospital Hill, including the names of some of its many special places.

Colombia - Cascada La Periquera
มุมมอง 435 หลายเดือนก่อน
Continuing my Colombian adventure, my good friends Beto & Fanny took me to this ecological park to enjoy its natural beauty and participate in what turned out to be an exhausting hike down to the third waterfalls and back up... but the natural setting made it worthwhile, and we got to cool off under the cool rushing waters of that third waterfalls. :o) Cascada la Periquera is an impressive 16m ...
Curaçao - Santa Marta Bay
มุมมอง 715 หลายเดือนก่อน
I got to experience Curaçao [“Kure-a-soh”] for a two day stopover between flights from Colombia to Grenada. Stayed at Boka Sami but hired a car to drive to the northwest part of the island to explore Santa Marta Bay. Unfortunately it was way too windy (~15 knots / 28 kms) to attain adequate altitude for a better shoot, but on the plus side, I very much enjoyed the company of the (Colombian-born...
Colombia - Family Farm, Cisneros

This family “farm” (like a cottage or cabin in Canada) is set on a hilltop in a beautiful area near Cisneros, Antioquia. A modern day Garden of Eden (without any nasty snakes :o) with 12 acres of productive tropical fish pools, exotic fruit trees, and magnificent views of mountains and valleys in every direction. And just 200 or 300m away from an awesome cascada (waterfalls) with refreshing lit...

My new friends Beto & Fanny (aka my Colombian Cousins) live in this semi-rural area about 50kms north of Bogota.

In particular, I thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast talks in the garden, and heading out on day trips to see the sights (some c...
Colombia - Laguna de Guatavita
มุมมอง 1755 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Guatavita Lagoon is a small body of water in a forest-fringed crater, northeast of Bogotá in central Colombia. The name of the lagoon is derived from Chibcha, the language of the indigenous Muisca people: gwa: mountain or or gwatibita: high mountain peak; hence, a pool at a high mountain peak. The lagoon was one of the sacred sites of the Muisca, who cast elaborate gold offerings into its d...

I live across the street from Peter and Holly in their Canadian home. Guess I should visit them in Carriacou!
Alphabeticalise in addition, genius, my mind has been regained at just the prospect🤣🤔Great video rich with tips & entertainment, what a great neighbour having Gandalf at hand.
thank you for sharing
I built a pair of saw horses using the metal things from the hardware store where you just cut your 2X4s and insert them. Doesn't fold and I want them to so I'll built new horses like yours. Nice, easy and better than what I have now.
Hello It's been more than 6 months. I live in Dawson City, I came to the frost🖐🖐🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍
Thank you.
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. 👍1
great project and design! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent design - I'm going to use it....
Ok Tony I decided to build a set of your sawhorses.i spent 40 yers plus as a maintenance and Construction mill wright. I have to admit that by looking at your plan and completed product I’m impressed at the design.and after working my way through the process I wonder if you did this video for you and your buddy’s entertainment? I enjoyed working through the dimensions and watching the video many times to catch each location of the hinges and braces and details. But this is not for someone who is not stubborn there more complex than they look for location of the tips of the boards on the hinges what part to put on when and all I have to say is don’t be in a hurry and it could be the funnest but perhaps frustrating project. I have much more time on the first set than I saw coming just stopping and evaluating the next step. But all in all a very fun and rewarding project.
Thanks for your feedback Lance. Glad you got your sawhorses done but sorry to hear it was a complicated process. Did you use the plans and instructions provided with the link in the video description ?
Beautiful place. Thank you for sharing.
we are going to take the girls there on our next visit. wanna come?
Sure ! (as long as it’s not wintertime 😊)
beautiful place and the blue tones of the sea make it majestic
Mother Nature is the most wonderful artist.
Nice music and lyrics. There is way too much drone footage although it is well piloted. The video is lacking the colourful and "architecturally" interesting local buildings, the boat yard, local people, businesses, the cemetery and more. Then it would be about windward.
Thanks for the tips! But the video and music is specific to D’Pearl - the little yellow house in the center of most of the video, made for the owner who is a friend. I’ll put this in the description.
Loved the video. Enjoy the rest of your stay in the Grenadines and beyond 😅
Thank you Hazel. It was wonderful to meet and chat with you. Remember to contact me if you ever make it to the Vancouver Canada area ! We’ll go sailing !
You are a very creative person. Your work inspires other people to do similar creative work.
Gracias por dejar huella en nuestro rincón del mundo
Looks so volcanic…, but salt beds collapsing. Interesting. And good on you for capturing it!!
Just stunning. And fascinating. What a family farm!! Relatives?? I loved seeing the pronounced valleys … all of it.
It's so scenic! Does your mavic have a function that lets it stay centered on a point of interest? Is that how you're keeping things like the farm in the center of the view as the drone flies around it? Or are you doing it manually?
Exactly ! It's an intelligent flight mode actually called “Point of Interest”. You define the center point and the radius and optionally the speed... the drone does the rest while you control the camera angle and optionally adjust the speed and altitude. I’ve done this manually but never as smoothly :o)
What a beautiful video Tony, you are welcome whenever you want, thank you for sharing these beautiful images, this will be your garden of Eden.
Many thanks “Yudi” for giving me this (and future) opportunities. Ox
I was going to say that it looks like a meteorite crater. Is it freshwater or is it saltwater? It kind of seems like it should be salt water if it was created by the dissolution of salt deposits underneath. What feeds it?
Hey @Philip Bonnici you are one of the few that reads the description ! 😆 The laguna is like a giant rain barrel. The water could be salty yes but I don’t know. We were not allowed to go near it. Actually drones are not even permitted over it, but fortunately I didn’t find that out until til after the flight 😂 Notice the big crevice in one part of the rim? That’s where the conquistadors tried to empty the laguna to get at all the gold that the indigenous people had thrown into it as part of their rituals.
Thank you for this. It was excellent. And educational. I will co co build one.
Glad it was helpful! I will be posting sketches and instructions in the next day or two.
Neptuner 04 planets😊😊😊❤
Hi, great video. I’d love to make these. Can you share a cut list
Thanks. Working on detailed specs and sketch now… will post here when ready. Likely next week.
@@ConnectVideo That's great. Thank you!
Yes there’s this short video of two ladies rinsing after their mud bath on saline island. th-cam.com/video/d2z68_AXT3s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AjoYXtDB7lJSDs_9
Do you you have more video of Saline Island? This video show's a lot of White Island
Not yet. But I’m back there as of yesterday. Will try.
I very much like the veiw as a seagull would have been the videographer and the music is very well adapted to suit this cultural setting. Well designed .thank you.
Very well thought out design
I have several pairs of saw horses that I store hanging from the rafters in my garage. I am always afraid to get them down, cause as soon as a new horizontal surface appears junk collects on it and then I need to get another pair down. Nice looking saw horses though, good work!
Great video Connect video - Malta looks great
Greetings Connect Video, May I kindly use your video as a clip in our church video? The video, with clips from this video, will be uploaded on Lighthouse Tabernacle and Ephesians Tabernacle TH-cam channels.
