On August 14th, 1760, the British warship H.M.S. Onondaga lowered a boat here in pursuit of French and Indian attackers. Later, when the ship’s crew could find neither the men, the boat nor where they had lowered it, this area became known as “The Lost Channel”.
In winter, the restrictions to the river’s flow caused by the maze of islands, accelerates the current and keeps the ice from fully forming. Bald eagles often collect here, using the open water as fishing holes, to find meals that are frozen out of reach elsewhere.
A good friend, Paul Rupert is an accomplished Canadian landscape artist who works exclusively a palette knife and oil, rather than a brush. This combination gives his canvases a unique texture that brings them alive, particularly in landscapes with branches and trees. I find DxO does that with this photo. It gains a feeling of texture from the processing and looks just like one of Paul’s paintings.
