Publisher's Synopsis
Niagara-on-the-Lake is often described as the prettiest town in Ontario. In fact, it was voted so in 1996. It is a historical site, having been settled at the close of the American Revolution by Loyalists coming to Upper Canada [Ontario] to start a new life as British subjects.
Now-a-days, the town is buzzing with lots of things to see and do for tourists and locals alike. There's Fort George, an actual fort from the War of 1812 [which was fought against the Americans]; there's the Shaw Festival, the marina, the golf course, picnic areas, resplendent huge houses [especially along the Niagara Parkway] and several world-famous wineries. There are also great bed and breakfasts, restaurants, hotels, craft shops galore and places to walk along the river, or if you prefer to travel in style, you can ride in the horse-drawn carriages, usually parked in front of the Prince of Wales Hotel.
Photographer, John Hartig, has explored Niagara-on-the-Lake with his camera and created another of his John's Photobook Series, showing his love of what the Niagara Peninsula offers in terms of scenery.
