A walk home in Winnipeg
Wednesday, May 15th, 2013. Filed under: Canada Legendary Landscapes
Walking home, May evening, Winnipeg.
After too many years, I recently made a trip home to Winnipeg. In between sorting boxes of my childhood books and looking at old photos with my mother and godmother, I went out with my sister and revisited old haunts. Walking home from Bar Italia on Corydon Avenue one evening, I took these photos. Being obsessed by Magritte lately, I’ve had my head and eyes in the clouds. And nowhere are the skies more beautiful than on the prairies. Here are a few unretouched, unfiltered photos taken while walking home on a crystal-clear evening, in Winnipeg, in May.
A light left on for me at home.

No pollution in the skies of Winnipeg. Love those trees!
The evening sky is especially gorgeous. I think the lack of pollution must be a factor, Winnipeg has such fresh-smelling air.
It is such a lovely place to have a walk though. I hope you enjoyed it. 🙂 I would go jogging instead though.
Thank you for sharing.
Yes, what beautiful skies and moon peeping through the trees – who could imagine good ole Winnipeg could look so magical! Love the “Welcome home” lights
Wow, how beautiful, Lesley! I bet you don’t see this in Toronto.
I’ll show this to my step-mom who’s from Manitoba, I know she’ll love it.
PS: No TBEX for me. Broke my ankle and had to have surgery. I’m so bummed!
We’ll miss you at TBEX, Marcia!
Love those indigo skies. Beautiful photos Lesley. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous photos! I’ve always wanted to visit Winnipeg and Manitoba; it’s only one of two provinces I’ve yet to cover in Canada.
Go to Winnipeg, then head north! Manitoba has lots of beautiful lakes and beaches. What other province missing from your ‘collection’?
Wow! What a beautiful place… I hope to visit Canada some day soon. My mother in-law lives in Ontario… but we have yet to make a trip there. The flight tickets are just too costly! But Im dying to go!
