The Rideau Falls is located in downtown Ottawa. The Rideau River splits
into two just before it joins the Ottawa River as seen is this Aerial view from Google Maps.
The river gets its French name "Rideau" (curtain) after the Appreciation of the
twin waterfalls.
A few hundred feet upstream on the Ottawa River, the
Rideau Canal was created in 1832.

This is one of those two waterfalls. I am holding the camera over the falls on the end of a 18 foot pole. One third of the pole is behind me for balance.
