It was time for a new header. This one dates to last May, taken in Commissioners Park during the Tulip Festival.
A few days back, on the last day of the winter, I paid a visit to the Chaudiere Falls, where the Ottawa River meets a series of islands between Ottawa and Gatineau, and where the main channel tumbles down falls and cascades, a total height of fifteen meters and a total width of sixty meters. It is ringed by a ring dam which diverts for hydro purposes.
The Chaudiere Bridge is immediately downstream. Also visible in the distance are the Portage Bridge and Parliament Hill.
I have not been up here in winter, albeit in late winter. Not everything was accessible, but enough was that it was worth the trip.
I was able to approach between two of the old industrial buildings.
Check out this video.
More from here tomorrow.
I absolutely love ❤️ these photos.
