Waterfall

 The east branch of the Rideau Falls are seen here where the river meets the Ottawa River. They were so named by Champlain when he came up this way for the first time; Rideau means curtain in French. Check out my video from this visit.

I started along the bridge. Note two birds near the very edge of the falls. The water is fairly shallow, kept in check by the dam, and they were both fine staying upright.

The view across takes in Leamy Lake Park with the Gatineau Hills off in the distance.

The north end of Green Island is parkland, with several monuments on the island itself. This one is dedicated to airmen of the Second World War.

Two more are over to the west side of the island.

Here they are closer up.

The National Artillery Monument is dedicated to artillerymen in general and the Royal Regiment Of Canadian Artillery in particular.
