Winnipeg and Manitoba (ALL Purpose Photo Thread)
 
Post pictures,images and links to photos taken in Manitoba.

This is an all purpose catch all thread for the many photos taken by so many excellent photographers, casual picture takers or others who just want to post an image taken in Manitoba.. Most photos would go unnoticed or would not fall into any one particular thread category, or would have a small specific thread dedicated to it.

Images of small towns, lakefront cottages, trips to Churchill or trips to the Falcon Lake.
Provincial parks,Camping in Waskada, Winnipeg's diverse neighborhoods or pictures of oil country around Virden. Pictures of your town or city in Manitoba,(no skyline needed), North, South ,East or West.etc.etc.... Post your Manitoba pictures.:)

2 of many great Threads I've browsed on SSP and there are many,many more.
I won't post entire collections of peoples photos but hope they will add Manitoba and other Winnipeg pictures to the thread . Thanks.

Here's my Best of Winnipeg Love Hate set. Some of you may have seen it, as it's been making the rounds lately after someone posted it on Reddit.

This might be a good opportunity for a shameless plug. My new book, Stuck In The Middle: Dissenting Views of Winnipeg is due out November 1. The book consists of my photos, text by Bartley Kives, and a foreword by John K. Samson. I think a lot of the regulars around here are going to like it. It deals with many of the issues that frequently get discussed here, such as the city's magnificent stock of turn-of-the-century, mid-century and contemporary architecture, as well as the city's uneven record of historic preservation. The book also explores Winnipeg's past misadventures in city planning, as well as its love affair with the megaproject.

Congrats on the photos added !

Your winter scenes, frost on the trees and the elm canopy tunnel are frame worthy.

I really need a better camera :(

bryanscott Oct 9, 2013 4:10 PM

Thanks guys.

Trueviking: Great photos. The elm canopy shot is amazing.

drew Oct 9, 2013 4:18 PM

Wow - bryanscott - some great pictures there.

Love that elm canopy shot TV. It sucks that many streets, especially in Wolseley could look that good, if they would just do a bit of tree pruning. Right now, the canopy looks a bit haphazard.

Bryan's photos of the Notre Dame Safeway piss me off.

To be fair I've been walking by that location for 3 years now and I've only ever seen homeless using those benches. Since their removal I have not seen any homeless on Albert. Its an upgrade by subtraction IMO.

Its too bad they had to remove them tho, that would have been a beautiful spot to sit and have some lunch.

Amazing pictures everyone! I love this thread already!

1ajs Oct 11, 2013 12:54 AM

I actualy used those benches to chill out with friends at 3 in the morning


also i am getting really fed up with this mentality of o the bums use the benches lets get rid of them sigh........
