That Hitler quote is a little disturbing. Then again, what else could we expect from the insane!?
Arindam
July 9, 2012
Yes, that was quite disturbing. But I just thought to share how different people could interpret the same thing with their own thoughts.

Thanks a lot Rosie. All these pictures are captured by mi Sister in law during her trip to Niagara Falls with my brother. For me she is a really nice photographer; so thought of sharing her pictures with you all. I am glad you liked them.
