A Winter Drive: Queen’s Royal Park Snapshots | NOTL
It was your typical cloudy winter day when I took a drive down to Niagara-on-the-Lake on a cold Friday evening in late 2025. I noticed these beautiful sunbeams peering through the heavy clouds, and I actually looked it up—there is a name for this: "crepuscular rays". Even with the winter chill, it was surprising to see so many people out and about near the gazebo at Queen’s Royal Park. There is something peaceful about the way the light hits the water this time of year.
Note: Some of these snapshots were captured while in motion. Please forgive the blurrinessđŸ˜³...
Looking across the mouth of the Niagara River toward the United States, that stone fortification you see in the background is Old Fort Niagara. It has stood there for over 300 years, guarding the entrance to the river from the New York side. It’s only about 1.2 km (0.75 miles) across the water, making those historic walls a very clear silhouette against the winter sky. I even saw a fisherman braving the cold—likely hoping for a Steelhead or Lake Trout, which are the stars of the river this time of year.
