Winnipeg woke up to our first snowfall this past Thursday morning.
This shot was waiting just outside the back of our house when I took the dog for the first morning walk. Soon as we got back from the walk, I was outside with the camera.
The image as seen was gone once the walk was shovelled.
Typical Convention Centre. There are few restourants hidden inside. Not much else going on unless there is an event happening. When it was completed in 1975, there were only a few similar facilities in Canada at the time. And in 1975, Winnipeg had the largest convention centre in Canada.

I'm sorting old photos and uploading some of interest. This image was posted to Flickr on Nov. 29, 2019.
Thank you everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
It's a cold frosty night at VIA's Winnipeg, Manitoba station. Again, some time will be spent here for servicing and some repositioning the order of the train enabling me to jump off for some photo opportunities. I believe our train diverts onto CN trackage here to access what seems to be one of the largest buildings occupied by humans in the prairie lands of Canada. I may be wrong, it could have been a "Union Station" before the VIA era utilized by both the CP and CN, but switcher power at the station was CN on this night. The place was, as DPM would put it, "Dripping with atmosphere." The open air British like shed was a marvel of steel work. It was also so cold I had to jump around a bit like a monkey to keep the blood flowing between shots. When retiring back to my roomette, I realized just how good steam heat feels.
This fellow was seen one early morning just off of Bishop Grandin, just west of the Pembina Highway...

In July 1987, I rode VIA Rail Canada between Vancouver and Winnipeg with my father. We went east on the Canadian through Banff and Calgary on Canadian Pacific. Our return to the west coast was aboard the Super Continental via Edmonton and Jasper over Canadian National. Aside from new F40 locomoitives that had gone into service a few months earlier on the Canadian, the trip was a 1950s streamliner time machine.
On our second morning, we arrived at Winnipeg Union Station. It was an elegant building that once hosted Canadian National, Great Northern and Northern Pacific trains. After GN and NP merged in 1970, Burlington Northern offered one train to Grand Forks until Amtrak eliminated it. In 1987, Union Station hosted four trains. The flagship Canadian called daily during its journey through Canada on a mostly Canadian Pacific routing. Winnipeg was the eastern terminus for VIA's Super Continental, which ran to Vancouver on CN. It also dispatched tri-weekly services east to Capreol and north to Churchill.
We spent the day in Winnipeg before starting the journey home that evening. While in there, we took in the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature, and spent time in the Winnipeg Square. Since it was a very warm day on the prairies, we were happy to take heat relief where we could find it. When we boarded our E-series sleeper (Emerald) that evening, we discovered it had sat out in the sun all day and was a sauna. Until the car cooled off, we were able to enjoy a northern lights show from our room as VIA 3 rolled west.
In this image, our eastbound Canadian has pulled past Union Station, and is backing into a depot track. The rotunda of observation "Strathcona Park" was the vantage for this photo. Locomotives were changed on VIA train 2 at Winnipeg; the outbound power set can be seen at right.
Chi-Kishkayhitamihk si Te Li Neu Biizon (Education is the New Bison) by Val T. Vint.
The 2020 unveiled Education is the New Bison is the first piece in a series of three artworks commissioned by The Winnipeg Foundation for The Forks.
The 12-foot sculpture in the shape of a bison is constructed out of 200 steel replicas of books and films by Indigenous authors and allies.
In Indigenous cultures, bison once provided everything. Now, we look to education to provide. Unless we understand our history, we can’t understand the problems in society.

Good Flickr friend morrismulvey and I went through the Vaughan Street Jail which was built in 1881.

Not sure what to say about this one, much less give it a meaningful title. But I like the way it turned out.
In Winnipeg, Manitoba. I'm not exactly sure when this was taken, but it was the winter of 2005/2006 at earliest.
I was going through old photos and found this wonderful example of a Winnipeg sidewalk, freshly plowed by a cute little sidewalk-sized snowplow. Note the bands on the elm trees. They are to trap elm bark beetles, which spread the fungus that causes Dutch Elm Disease.
