Adàwe Crossing - a photo on Flickriver

Adàwe Crossing

            Last year, I noticed the construction of a pedestrian-bicycle bridge over the Rideau River near 'The Rapids'. It's been named the Adàwe Crossing - an Algonquin term meaning “to trade” and is meant to be symbolic of the history of the Rideau River, the aboriginal heritage of the area and the bridge’s ability to link the communities on either shoreline. It's a lovely bridge and I took the opportunity to sketch it on one of my recent bike trips from a comfortable rock on the shoreline. One of the bridge's distinctive features is a pair of large silver spheres midway across the bridge on either side. It makes a wonderful mirror to take a selfie.

L'année dernière, j'ai remarqué la construction d'un pont piétonnier et à vélo sur la rivière Rideau près de 'Les Rapides'. Il a été nommé la Passerelle Adàwe - un terme algonquin qui signifie «commerce» et est censé être symbolique de l'histoire de la rivière Rideau, le patrimoine autochtone de la région et la capacité du pont pour relier les communautés de chaque rive. Il est un beau pont et j'ai saisi l'occasion de l'esquisser sur un de mes récents voyages de vélo d'un rocher sur le rivage. L'un des traits distinctifs du pont est une paire de grandes sphères d'argent à mi-chemin sur le pont de chaque côté. Il est un miroir merveilleux pour prendre un selfie.
