An art installation called the Continuum by Munich artist Franziska Agrawal on the river trail in Winnipeg. It's part of the Warming hut competition this year. In this image you can see the length of the corridor made of shaped snow doorways as someone walks past.

Image taken from the frozen Assiniboine River in front of the Forks Market in Winnipeg. Folks skating on the river and others walking alongside on the walking path. The trees are covered in frost. The river trail is a favourite Winnipeg winter activity.

Image taken from the frozen Assiniboine River in front of the Forks Market in Winnipeg showing the walking path which runs alongside the skating trail which is back up again this year. The little evergreen trees that sit along the trail are covered in frost. It's a foggy winter day and the buildings in the distance are fading from the sky.

Winnipeg knows how to have fun during our long and cold winters. The river skating trail is a great reason to get out there and enjoy the season ⛸️

It's winter in the forest. A fluffy chickadee sits patiently on the tips of my fingers deciding on the best nut for his next meal. On the menu today are peanuts and sunflower seeds.

A section of rushing water at Tulabi Falls curves around a cliff of exposed bedrock. The smaller deciduous trees in the foreground have already lost their leaves but evergreens adorn the cliff across the watery divide.

Where Tulabi Lake turns into Tulabi Falls and starts to descend over boulders of bedrock - one of my favourite spots to stand and listen to the rushing water. Out of frame to the right is a very tall cliff with a stunning overlook point.
