Two weeks ago our Media and Content Manager, Joel, headed out to Niagara Falls in the evening to capture the messages of hope and unity shared on the famous hospitality properties that overlook the natural marvel. While he was there he also captured another scene that was eerie and unprecedented. Niagara Falls, a usually thriving tourist destination marked by thousands of people in every direction, was empty. He snapped a few photos for us to share with you.

The famous photo that was commissioned by the City of Niagara Falls is the first featured, the balance are from a brief drive through the typically busy tourism district.
