So pretty!

Next time, please share some snow with Virginia. We got a mere dusting.

Thanks! Yeah, it was a small concentrated storm. LOL Next time I'll put a word in for you.

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.

Seven levels ramps with sides of lit Alabaster and I walked all the way up today.

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.

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.
