the messenger

at the winnipeg art gallery

is a retrospective of

the well known

canadian artist william kurelek.

i was familiar with his work

depicting canadian prairie life.

this was the first time i had

seen broader examples of

his work.

this is an impressive and

at moments disturbing and thought

provoking exhibition.

i look forward to seeing it

again closer to home

in hamilton, a nearby

city.

legislative building

when in winnipeg the legislative building

is a must see. the interior is beautiful.

i enjoyed walking around

and being in this almost magical space.

the bison are truly impressive.

more information can be found here.

signs and bison

on display an orange caboose from the

early 1900's with a once familiar logo,

caboose is such a friendly word,

i didn't book a room at the woodbine,

found the place where nuts and

candies are made,

portage and main, that famous

intersection one hears about,

has concrete barriers and

an underground pedestrian

walkway, traffic seemed safer.

bison, they used to roam

freely, now carved in stone.

goodnight...

night out

this wonderful tapas bar

was an excellent way to

start a winnipeg visit.

the food was so good

that i only managed

to record

the olives at the beginning

and the cortado

with the

last of the divine

churros

at the end.

away

it is thanksgiving weekend here,

and i am away,

in winnipeg, manitoba,

my first visit to this city

and province. i so like the

bison on the flag. the trees

are golden and the sky is

big.

happy thanksgiving.
