#2: If you had seen the GREAT LAKES and made a bracha ( do you? ) would you make a separate brach on consequently seeing Niagra Falls ( See answer to Question # 1)

On alternate day

- Yes
- Each thing would get a new Bracha even on the same day.
Last summer I visited Zion National Park and I asked the Rav when do I say a Oseh Maaseh Bereshit as the entire park is just one wonder after the next and he said every time you see a wondrous site that you didn’t see before, you make a bracha. Based on this, every time I reached the peak or end of a trail, I said a Bracha and ended up making multiple brachas in one day.
