Looking easterly at lock 37 on the Trent-Severn Waterway, Ontario
On the left you can see the falls over the dam at Bolsover, Ontario, a fall of about 22 feet. And on the right you can see the Bolsover lock, part of the Trent-Severn Waterway. Boats heading easterly will eventually reach Lake Ontario at Trenton, now part of the City of Quinte West.
It's quiet here because the locks are closed from mid-October through mid-May.
Looking westerly from the bridge over the falls
Boats heading westerly are bound for Lake Simcoe. If they follow the waterway to its end, they will reach Lake Huron at the Town of Port Severn..

I would like it while it was quiet...looks like you could fish there also.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly live in a picturesque area. A photographer's dream!
ReplyDeleteIt may be quiet now, but this is a beautiful scene -- from both directions.
ReplyDeleteYes, Rose, fishing is allowed in designated areas.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so very nice; so very northern. I can smell the fresh air, the pine scent and the water...ah....

I must agree that you have a charming neck of the woods. You would have no lack of subject for the blogs
