    The Park's architect, Frederick Law Olmsted (much better known for the design of Central Park) had this reservoir imposed upon him by Montreal City Council. See: A.L. Murray "Frederick Law Olmsted and the Design of Mount Royal Park, Montreal" Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Vol. 26, No. 3 (Oct., 1967), pp. 163- 171

  • Lú_ said:
    Is this at the same point, or is there more than one fall along the Bow?
  • cloistered appliance said:

    This looks more like the American falls, not the Horseshoe Falls. It has the same rocks at the bottom and it would be difficult, i think to get this angle of the Horseshoe falls because you'd have nowhere to stand--there's only a huge basin of water beneath it, whereas the American Falls, you can go to the bottom below it and take a picture like this. I think this is that American Falls, or at least the section between the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls, taken possibly from the Maid of the Mist as it passes by the American Falls on the way to the Horseshoe. It doesn't look like this now, because parts of the landscape were blasted away. i could be wrong...

    As poetdiva poetdiva said, this is the American Falls, not the Horseshoe Falls.

    "Panoramic view of American and Horseshoe Falls (2011)"                                   by mbell1975
    Panoramic view of American and Horseshoe Falls and Niagara Falls Ontario Canada

    Niagara Falls is often categorized by these three names: [1]
    American Falls (between Prospect Point and Luna Island) far left
    Bridal Veil Falls (between Luna Island and Goat Island) mid left
    Canadian Falls (between Goat Island and Table Rock) far right
    (Most of the Canadian Falls is also called "Horseshoe Falls" due to shape)
    There is another photograph by William Henry Jackson of this same view (and likely taken at the same time), captioned "A boat approaches the base of Niagara Falls, 1901", which is managed by Corbis.
