Some pics I took at midnight last night off my balcony. The air was cold and crisp, and the sky above the city was beautiful with the scattered clouds:

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet is an amazing ballet corps. Winnipeg is justly proud of it. I am
so happy for them that they have their own home! That pic I showed is the National Ballet's new school... they are sharing space with the Opera in the new Four Seasons opera house for performances. I just love the new NBSchool on Jarvis. Simple, yet elegant. Those big glass windows on the left part are where the students practice.. the glass is etched with music notes. Lovely!
Part of the old Ballet School is being converted into residences for the students...





Those Vancouver pix were gorgeous.
