Continuing on today, here we have views from the main viewing area of the Chaudiere Falls. And here is one of the videos I took during this visit.
I continued a little further on, towards the end of the pathway where I took more shots and the second of these videos of the falls. I have sat before in the chairs up here. The roar of the waterfalls has a lulling effect; on a pleasant day it would be all too easy to fall asleep while sitting.
On my way out I photographed the view upstream. The Ottawa River is wide here. The buildings in the background are at Tunney's Pasture on the Ottawa side of the river. A portion of the old railway bridge I mentioned the other day can be seen as well.
One last shot for this walk. I passed by the War Museum. Across the street is some parkland and I paused to photograph this. I'm guessing it's lavender, but I assume my gardening readers can confirm it readily. In that regard, I'm hopeless.
Powerful water shots.
ReplyDeleteLooks close enough for lavender to me, but it also might be a type of sage.
ReplyDeleteThere is something refreshing about falling water.
ReplyDeleteWhite noise falls and great look back, William
ReplyDeleteI have a little (Henry-) waterfall here. Sooo good. yes, lavender is soothing, too. Have that under my pillow for a better sleep.
ReplyDeleteI like the sounds of fast streaming water.

ReplyDeleteI especially love that first photo.
ReplyDelete...ah, the force of water!
ReplyDeleteThe water looks so fierce, William!
ReplyDeleteAre you having any blogger problems? I can't see my reading list anymore and some blogs take forever to open. Also my blog listing on people's favourites list seem to have changed to some weird code. I wonder if I am even showing on reading lists? All very strange.
Great photos...but I missed or couldn't locate a video. Waterfalls always are attractive, and big ones are awesome!
ReplyDeleteImpressive photos of the water.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
ReplyDeleteNice pics. Love the wild flowers. That falls is very noisy.

I loved the video. It sounds just like I had imagined it would sound.
ReplyDeleteEl vídeo complementa muy bien tus fotos. En él se puede mejor apreciar, la intensidad y el gran volumen del agua en su desplazamiento.
ReplyDelete@Anvilcloud: it's quite a sight.
ReplyDelete@Marie: me too.

@MB: the falls do make quite a sound.
@Sharon: if I'm here, I do yend to video things. It's been a year, I think, since I last did a video.
@Ventana: thank you.
Uhm, kinda looks likes rosemary to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the sounds of water, it's very relaxing. I find water helps me think, it's good for clearing your head.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos William!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the falls. I enjoyed them all.
