The Path

I was quite pleased with the way Kiweki Point has turned out. It was a process of several years in the redesign, which included the removal of amphitheater seating and the reconfiguring of the top of the point, but it was worth it.

The next subject is the walleye, a resident of the Ottawa River.

The river otter is known to these waters and the area at large, and an integral part of indigenous culture.

I photographed the view of where I'd come from.

And then ahead again.

The object down in the river is a barge, placed there temporarily at the time. From late July into the first half of August on two nights of the week, fireworks are set off from there in an international competition.

Next we have the gray jay, the wisakedjak in Algonquin, also called the whiskey jack, a bird that has a reputation as a trickster.

The Thunder Bird is a spiritual being in Algonquin cultures.
