The Weir on a Grey Morning in Arnprior<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A \u2018weir\u2019 is a curved dam. This weir is on the Madawaska River in Arnprior. The island is where the fire department volunteers set off the fireworks on Canada Day (July First). -Love the dramatic curves. You can just about make out the Museum’s Tower just left of center in the background.<\/p>\n

\"Church<\/a><\/p>\n

Weir and Island to the left, Church and Construction across the river.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Looking just a bit west of Due North across the mighty Madawaska (The Weir is just out of sight to the left). The Church is Saint John Chyrstostom\u2019s. (sp? It\u2019s spelled differently every time I see it listed anywhere.) and the Construction at the river\u2019s edge is a waste water treatment plant expanding. Local Members of Parliament got in big trouble by ceremoniously presenting cheques that tried to advertise the Conservative Party and prominently displayed their own names, as if the largess was all theirs and the funds hadn\u2019t come from everybody\u2019s tax money and had to be approved by Members of Parliament from all kinds of political striping. (How\u2019s that from bad grammar?)<\/p>\n

\"Toward<\/a><\/p>\n

The Madawaska flows into the Ottawa River at Chats Lake beyond the trees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Looking slightly East of North (I think). Construction to the left across the water, beyond the trees on that side there is a park and a beach on Chats Lake. Jutting out into the river on this side is a boat club, another park, and a rocky point. Chats Lake is a pretty darn wide section of the Ottawa River. I\u2019m thinking it\u2019s at least a mile wide here. Quebec on the other side.<\/p>\n
