[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A photo taken at Lake Eugenia, Ontario Canada in 2001. Unfortunately I do not have the camera information anymore since this photo was one of the first digital photos that I ever took long before I became serious about my photography. I hope it will be suitable for the Friday theme and that you will also like it

Thanks for visiting

Here is some informationabout Lake Eugenia and the Eugenia Falls park.

Eugenia Falls Conservation Area
Situated in the very tiny village of Eugenia, Eugenia Falls Conservation Area encompasses 23 hectares of Niagara Escarpment, river valley and upland forests. The site features hiking trails, a picnic pavilion, privies and a war memorial, as well as the 30 metre tall waterfall.

When first discovered in 1852, Eugenia Falls was the scene of a 'Fools Gold' rush. Later it became the location of five mills and a small private electric plant and by 1905, it was chosen to be the site of the second hydroelectric plant in Ontario (Georgian Bay Power Company). In 1915, Ontario Hydro moved the plant to the north and created Lake Eugenia, allowing more control over water levels.

The waterfall was called Eugenia following a suggestion from some ex-soldiers of the French army (Crimean War), working with Charles Rankin surveying the former Artemesia Township. They suggested that the waterfall be named after Princess Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III.
