This is part one of a two part post. This is the famous gorge in the town of Saint George NB. It is their most photographed scenic attraction. The cliffs on either side are said to be riddled with caves, one of which is said to connect with Lake Utopia. The dam and mill were built by St. George Pulp and Paper, which ceased operations in 1967. Shortly after the dam was built, the salmon ladder was installed to benefit stocks of wild salmon that migrate up the Magaguadavic River to spawn. The ladder has enabled a serious conservation effort to protect and enhance the wild salmon run. Comments welcomed as always.

Hi Ladyred ... haven't caught you in a while ... So many wonderful images to see ... so little time :) Glad I caught this charmer. Love looking at this and following those rocky cliffs to the mill in the distance. One can almost sense the waters flowing. Thanks for a pleasant few moments.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.

Very beautiful Miss Ladyred. Love the dark water that looks so realistic. The rocky cliffs have such great detail. The little red mill really provides the needed variation in color. The varing greens are pretty also. Everything flows together to make a lovely composition.

Such a beautiful and somewhat dangerous looking place too. I simply love the angle you shot this at Ruby. Very pretty image.
