I had never been to Niagara Falls in the winter before today. It is quite a different experience than the summer. Mostly because the mist is very cold, not the pleasant refresher it can be in the summer, but also because there aren't a million people everywhere.
I would say that the English geological wonder equivalent to Niagara Falls is Stone Henge, but unfortunately I never made the trek to Stone Henge (though I did travel all through England from Cornwall to Manchester to Leeds, as well as Wales Scotland and both Northern Ireland and Ireland), so I can't say officially.

Niagara Falls is two things. The falls themselves are awe inspiring - very beautiful and very very powerful. An enormous amount of water gushes between 2 of the Great Lakes. The town of Niagara Falls is a terrifyingly Americanized tourist trap. Chain restaurants abound and a high level of cheesiness is everywhere. But the falls are certainly worth the hour and a half drive from Toronto. I think they might have been considered one of the 7 natural wonders of the world, but I'm not really sure who made up that list to begin with. Alexander the Great maybe? He definitely wasn't at Niagara Falls. Hmm. A few tasty snaps from today:
The near rainbow on the near empty viewpoint
The Canadian falls in all their misty glory
We found the end of the rainbow. No gold.
