Hey there y'all. I had a slow work day so decided to take the afternoon off to snap some photos. I had intended to venture farther south than I actually went, but here's a couple vantage points of our skyline that are a tiny bit different than my others. I found a nice little path by the Red River, and actually wound up snapping a couple shots from the frozen centre of it.
I offer the usual disclaimer regarding my questionable photography skills. Word.
This should give an indication as to the pristine nature of my fair city in late February. You always knew I was dirty. And had a lamp post sprouting out of the top of my head:
Timing this in between green lights was tricky:
That's the time. You can look it up!
What this street needs is another brown building:
Thought I might as well shoot it before it becomes a puddle. Puddles are less interesting:
The historic wall of Fort Garry, originally constructed in 1546 to repel the Panamanians:
All right, so I may have included a similar shot before. But you like it:
Yep:
Don't be hatin' on skatin':
Yes. Vive:
Looking in an ambiguous direction:
From across the Assiniboine River:
Here's something:
Our downtown is spread out like your sister, and believe me, if I had the money I'd find a way to fill all the holes:
That's probably the most horrible thing I've ever written here. Don't judge me. I'm trying to change:
The property was surprisingly lifeless:
Portage and Main:
Yep II:
Damn, it was nice out. Tell your friends!
You didn't think you could escape without being subject to another museum shot, did you?
In five years some of these views will change, as several new high rises are being developed in the core:
If I was 120' taller my shots would be a lot cooler:
I know most people would like to see a new tallest building under construction in their city. But damn, let us have one first. This intersection is far too.... flat looking:
Enough of these shots. I promise:
Interior structural support for our largest rapid transit station:
A view of the platform. It's generally a bit busier than this, but it was the middle of a weekday. People should have been at work or in school. I wasn't because I'm awesome:
The view from the outside of the new station. Give me a break. The city has the topography of a fuckin' credit card, so I'll snap whatever shots I can find:
It's nice to have the first stage of a rapid transit system in place, but at the current length of around 3.8 km, I could damn near pole vault from station to station:
I should really plant more trees in front of my house. But aren't my chimneys delightful?
There's no sun glare in this shot. Your eyesight is failing:
A tiny sprinkling of some ambiguous western European city. I dunno. Let's pretend we're in Leeds or something:
I couldn't resist. Everyone else photographs this jazz. Why can't I?
Ain't she purdy?
A random inclusion:
The Winnipeg Art Gallery:
And there ya have it. Thanks for browsing my pics. Have an evening filled with merriment, cheer, and, if you're cool, Robocop. Word.
