Description Calm, deep dark blue waters make for an idyllic scene in this image of the French River with a boat cruising down it.This photograph was captured in northern Ontario, south of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada; with a Canon Rebel XSi using an 18-55mm lens.The French River was used as a transportation corridor by the Algonquian peoples of this region. The Ojibwa named this the French River because it became associated with French explorers of the 17th century, including tienne Brl, Samuel de Champlain and Pierre-Esprit Radisson, and missionaries.Other explorers who later followed this route included Simon Fraser, Alexander Mackenzie and David Thompson.Together with the Ottawa and Mattawa Rivers, the French River formed part of the water highway from Montreal to Lake Superior in the days of the fur trade. It remained a major canoe route until about 1820. It was later settled as a summer tourist and recreation area. For this reason, the French River was designated a Canadian Heritage River in 1986.Near the end of the 19th century, logging became the primary activity in the area. Because of the rugged nature of the Canadian Shield country surrounding this river, large parts of this river remain relatively untouched and it is now a popular location for recreational canoeing, kayaking, fishing and boating.
Alyce Taylor, Lethbridge, Alberta Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement I am an amateur photographer living in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.
I enjoy photographing the wonders of the world around me; whether that means capturing images of animals and wildlife, scenic natural landscapes, or man-made wonders.
I travel all over Canada in pursuit of this passion and my dream is to one day be able to do this full-time.
Thank you for your interest in my work, Alyce Taylor
