The barge at Niagara Falls

The Niagara Scow (also called the Old Scow or Iron Scow) is the unofficial name of the wreck of a small scow that brought two men perilously close to plunging over the Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the Niagara Falls, in 1918. The wreck can still be seen, upstream of the falls.
On the night of Oct. 31 to Nov. 1 there was a big storm. It loosened the barge and it moved after 101 years. A little closer to the falls now. When it will go over the Canadian Falls is a wait and see.
The story about the barge went all over the world.
I am sure I will be back soon by the falls. I hope to catch it going over.

This is who I am,

I am Karin Miedema. I was born in the Netherlands. I was a midwife assistant and then stayed in the family for ten days after the baby is born. I am a specialized nurse for the mother and new born babies. I teach them how to look after the new born, Make sure mom heals fine and baby is ok. I also look after other children in the family and some housework. ‘Kraamverzorgster” this is called and for as far as I know only the Netherlands has this kind of care. I looked after children from when I was very young.

I Emigrated to Canada in 1981 and married a Canadian. I have 2 sons and 2 daughters and 2 beautiful granddaughters. They love to be in my studio and be my model and use the props I have.

I have had a cat and dog, but they both passed. You can see I love animals.

I always had a strong interest in pictures and photography all my life.

I started with photography about 10 years ago. First nature (that I still do) and for the last 8 years I do photo shoots. I have a studio here at home, lots of props I can use if needed, but will also go on location.

I am a family photographer and love to work with children.

But I also do pets and events.

Have a look at my pictures. If you have any questions, please email me at miedema.kg@rogers.com

For now enjoy the pictures and I hope to see you in the near future for a photo shoot.

Karin
