Yesterday we were up in Gatineau Park taking in the fall colours. On the way back into Ottawa we decided to stop at Remic Rapids on the Ottawa River. I wanted to try out my new zoom lens and monopod. There are usually lots of geese and ducks on the river and all are quite close to the bicycle path.
There is also a fellow that does freestanding rock sculptures. Essentially, he stacks up rocks from the river into various patterns. No adhesive of any kind is used. The rocks are all balanced by other rocks in the stack in order to stay in place. These sculptures last until the river freezes over in the winter and/or the river rises during spring runoff. We've never seen the person doing the sculptures but he was there yesterday. I took a few pictures of him at work. Amazing how he does it.
