ANOTHER LOOK AT THE RED DEER RIVER

     The Red Deer River has it's source in the Rocky Mountains not far from the city. There is a major dam about 30 km upstream from the city. This dam controls the river's flow very effectively so that flooding and problems with low winter flow can be avoided.

     Now I like the river and have photographed in other areas.

     The other morning I had some time and took photos of an area that at I rarely visit. The area is where the river flows through the downtown. This area has been altered by development of the city core. Bridges have been built and abandoned. A large water intake and treatment plant are on the bank.

    However , it's still an attractive part of the river.

    Let's take a look.
