NIAGARA Old Postcard Cave of Winds & BRIDAL VEIL FALLSCanada Vintage Colour Postcard. Cave of the Winds and Bridal Veil Falls, Niagara Falls. BRIDGE. Rock of Ages and American Falls from below. / Centre Fall issues form between Luna and Goat Island, shown in the photograph. At the shore foot under the fall is a place called Cave of the Winds, formed by thirty feet or projecting limestone that has resisted the action of the corroding waters while the shady substratum disrectly under the ledge has been eaten away. The so-called cave is one hundred feet in height and sixty feet in depth and can be reached by a perpendicular winding stairway from Goat Island. The cave derives its name from the constant pressure of the atmosphere caused by the reflex of the falling water which resembles a storm of great violence.Faults: Minor creases at bottom left
