I was looking for something else and this was something I didn't know/. The architect was Antoine Predock of Albuquerque, New Mexico was awarded the design of the museum, which he considers his most significant project.Canadian Museum for Human Rights which was built in our city. You would think something like this would have been placed in our capital. Another dreary day so I decided so decided to visit again but this time with my cam. I did not take any specifics of the displays and there were many, just the architecture. Sorry for the long text at the end. This is what happens when you get bored waiting for a nice day to take your new toy out.

View from the tower. The suspension walking bridge has the cities famous million dollar toilet. They thought they would put a high end restaurant in the centre and since it can get to -35 Celsius in the winter the sewage, etc pipes had to be heated. People said no one will want to walk across it in the winter especially with those temps and winds. They were right and it shut down. I ride my over that bridge in the summer.
The platform to the right on the Red River (which comes up from North Dakota/Minnesota) was built for one the popes that visited many years ago. From it a bit to the left and up there is an arch. The St. Boniface Cathedral which burnt in 1968. The kept the front wall. You can't see it but just to the right the right is the Assiniboine river that spills into the Red. That area is called The Forks and they uncovered artifacts dating back over 5,000 years. Once a train maintenance facility it turned into a rough area, was reclaimed and now the old brick buildings have shopping, restaurants, etc. Great place to sit outside and sometimes when I go on one of my long bike rides I stop there for a cold beer.

A series of eye-catching images of a fascinating looking building - wonderful geometry and colours - that final shot had us reaching for an extra jumper.

Hi Ken,
Three very different, but equally eye-catching images - all beautifully captured and presented.
(The magnificent elk just steals the show as our favourite).

Hi MIke,Good morning everyone
We received our first Fall snow today. Four inches of the white stuff. This is the earliest storm we have had in many years. Usually we don't get accumulating snows until mid-January. With that said, the R5 called to me to get out of bed early on a Sunday in the 34 degree cold and take a "few" snow pictures. 35 pictures and 90 minutes later, I ended up with 13 that I would like to share. CC Always Welcome!!!

Images from our visit to Houghton Mill, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, England.
(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PL Elite/ Viewpoint/ Nik Collection and Adobe LrC/ PS with Tony Kuyper Panels. Karen used our Sony RX10 IV on this trip, so you’re stuck with Phil’s images).
You can find out more about Houghton Mill by clicking Here.
Phil and Karen
1. There has been a mill on this site for around 1,000 years, with early documents indicating that in the year 974 the manor of Houghton, including a mill, was given to the newly established Ramsey Abbey.
2. After the dissolution of the monasteries in the 1530s the abbey’s lands and mill were taken over by the Crown. Ownership eventually passed to the Earls of Manchester, who leased out the mill as a commercial concern.
3. Grain arrived from far and wide using barges on the Great River Ouse. The course of the river around Houghton Mill had to be diverted to maximise the amount of waterpower needed to enlarge the mill.
4. At peak production there were three working waterwheels and 10 pairs of millstones operated by a team of 18 people.
5. Houghton Mill reached the height of its prosperity around 1850 under the management of successive members of the Brown and Goodman families. At this point the mill was producing a tonne of top-quality flour per hour, which was sold as far away as London.
6. By the 1920s the mill had been sold several times and was working at a much-reduced rate, probably only for local animal feed. By 1938 the mill had been acquired by the Houghton Mill Restoration Committee, who transferred ownership to the National Trust.

Hi MIke,
Cheers - very much appreciated!
(We stayed in the adjacent camp site, so were able to get our external shots while it was still quiet. We also benefitted by booking onto one of the tours which precede general access - our guide was a charming character who told a beautifully woven tale which both informed and captivated his audience).

Hi again. It’s been a hot minute or so and I’m sorry to have missed so much. Who knew retirement could be so distracting. I hope you all have been well and enjoying life! I’ve been taking a course on Multiple exposures the past few months so here are a few creations.

Hi Hali,
Welcome back! Good to hear you're enjoying retirement (I'm not sure how I ever fitted work in - Karen's the same, but she still works...
).An inspirational set of creative images - #1 and #6 are our favourites (both are sublime!), but they all hold a wealth of delights for the viewer.
Great stuff - thank you for sharing...

Wow Phil, that looks like something out of Star Trek; the Doomsday Flower Black HoleWhen you sit back, catch your breath and slowly realise you may have gotten ever so slightly carried away with things...

The last of our Autumn photos and some other recent photos.
The view from Quill Hill in Rangeley, Maine.
A photographer (my wife) taking photos of a nice pocket of fall color and the Kennebec River in Moscow, Maine.
A photo of my niece taking a wrist shot at one of her hockey games.
Finally, a couple of photos of the The Flour and Grain Exchange Building in Boston, Massachusetts. The building was completed in 1893 in the Romanesque Revival style. The exterior is Milford pink granite, which happened to be extracted from the quarry on which my workplace sits today.
The building is traditionally wrapped with a red ribbon at Christmastime.

Ah, Kaiserschmarn! One of my favourite skiing foods. That and Germknödel. Best eaten in a chalet on the slopes of an Austrian ski resort. St Anton or Lech being my preference. I met the woman who would become my wife, now known as She Who Must Be Obeyed, in St Anton in 1983...

You know, as I do, that Kaiserschmarrn is completely sugar and fat-free. The more you eat, the healthier you get.....
