A Meeting Place Of Two Rivers

 Picking up where we left off yesterday at the east channel of the Rideau Falls. This place was named by Champlain- the French word for curtain is rideau, hence the name. He first came up the river in 1613.  On the far shore, which is part of the New Edinburgh neighbourhood, the pavilion houses the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.


I looked back at the air force monument.


And then I headed over the bridge.


Here on the east side, I took more photographs of the waterfalls, which are a delight to see. Check out my video right here.
