Poonamalie Lock 15889

In the Rideau Waterway

One of the royal engineers of the Rideau Canal had previously worked in the Tamil region of India
and the cedar lined banks and the terrain reminded him of that area, so he gave this set of locks
the Tami name "Poonamalie", which means Cat Hill.

Photographed near Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada.
