SHOT 7/6/14 1:16:46 PM - A seagull flies through the mist off of the American Falls on the Niagara River near Buffalo, N.Y. The American Falls measure 1,060 feet (323 m) wide and drop between 70 to 110 feet. The Niagara Falls are renowned both for their beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Six million cubic feet (168,000 cubic meters) of water flow over the crest every minute during high flow periods. Buffalo, N.Y. is the second most populous city in the state of New York. Located in Western New York on the eastern shores of Lake Erie and at the head of the Niagara River across from Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada, Buffalo is the seat of Erie County and the principal city of the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area, the largest in Upstate New York. By 1900, Buffalo was the 8th largest city in the country, and went on to become a major railroad hub, the largest grain-milling center in the country and the home of the largest steel-making operation in the world. The latter part of the 20th Century saw a reversal of fortunes: by the year 1990 the city had fallen back below its 1900 population levels. (Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2014)
