Lightning over the Provencher Bridge in Winnipeg...

Is that a gazebo? Winnipeg has a gazebo?

That structure in the foreground on the left, correct?

As a city of over 750,000 people, Winnipeg has MANY gazeboes. ;-)

And many lovely trees, as you can see. From the air, we appear very green.

Correct. And, of course, duh. >_< I keep pegging Winnipeg as some miniature village, while it's actually quite big. And not in Canada - or is it? I really should've studied my American geography better.

Anyway, the many trees look very prevalent, indeed. This is never a bad thing. What's that big, needle-like (from our perspective) white thingy in the background? A bridge?

You're correct -- we're located in central Canada, in the province of Manitoba.

And the big brightly-lit pointy structure is indeed the Provencher Bridge, one of Winnipeg's most recent civic works projects and absolutely gorgeous, IMHO.

Absolutely breathtaking!

Wow, that's amazing... was that from one of those sky-cam things?

Super cooooool!

I still can't believe they put a Sal's in that monstrosity of a resturant with the million dollar toilet.... ugh.

Are you sure that's the Provencher Bridge? I thought it was called the Esplanade Riel.

That was the name that was attached to the photo. ;-) And because I don't usually use the bridge myself, I've never particularly cared WHAT it's named, lol...
