Continuing where I left off yesterday, here's another view of the east branch of the Rideau Falls. Note the snow down below, yet to melt in spring conditions at the time I took these shots in early April.
Here we have a first glimpse of the west branch of the falls. The National Research Council has its facilities on the far shore.
I started across the bridge spanning the west branch.
I reached the viewing area on the west shore. In the distance on the Gatineau side of the Ottawa River, a number of buildings can be glimpsed. That's where the main channel of the Gatineau River merges with the Ottawa River.
William - we have a number of towns that are experiencing flooding this spring - snow melt and heavy rains! Fascinating pictures.
ReplyDeleteNice! I'd love to hear the roar.
ReplyDeleteHi William, I'm still following your blog, but I've decided not to comment each day anymore. After a while, various subjects return in an annual rhythm, and comments also lapse repeatedly.
ReplyDeleteWith such a beautiful photo series of the falls, you can still count on my interest and admiration.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
The sound of a waterfall is wonderful!
