I find the shadows on the snow interesting. Maybe nobody else does. Anyone?

Some daring people cross the river even though it might be thin ice

These nice new wooden benches down by the river have already been ruined with graffiti. Jerks!

Winnipeggers love a bargain - and it doesn't get much thriftier than a Frank Gehry structure for $20K. As part of the third annual competition for River Trail warming huts, Gehry has contributed an elegant design of Douglas fir and semi-translucent ice blocks. The participation of the Toronto-born, L.A-based architect, best known for the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, confirms the competition's rapidly rising international profile.

Nice patterns of snow on ice. Maybe squirrels?
