This is not a waterfall

I was surprised when I looked for previous paintings of the (inaccurately named) Bow Falls that I might have written about on this blog, to find that there were none unless you consider the painting below, based on an aerial view of the Bow Valley. It includes the Bow Falls, among many other things.


This particular painting reminded me of the fact that this stretch of the Bow River consists of Class 5 rapids, not falls, stretching back toward the town of Banff almost half a kilometre.
