Another scene from one of my favourite areas. 

Gatineau Park is a treasure so close to Ottawa/Gatineau. 

The Algonquin-Anishinabe Nation have lived in the area for centuries. Since the early 17th century with the arrival of the Europeans, it has been trapped, logged, farmed, mined, and even a location for early industry, the Carbide Wilson acid condenser a most notable example. It witnessed the influx of many cottages. 

Fortunately for us since the park’s inception in 1938, it has become an area for conservation as well as recreation.
