It has been extremely cold here and I don’t have any incentive to walk outside, so I decided that a return visit to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights would provide lots of walking space as well as a place for me to absorb more of the stories there. One of the nice perks of… Continue reading Return to Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Windchill at Fort Whyte Alive
It looked like a beautiful morning today and the temperature was starting at -4C this morning and rising to -1C during the day. Unfortunately the forecast didn’t mention the wind and therefore the windchill. It wasn’t just that I just missed it, since I talked to others who said the same thing. I didn’t realize… Continue reading Windchill at Fort Whyte Alive
Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 4, Relax
There is just so much information in this museum, that it is impossible to take it all in at once. Because of this, there are a couple of places to just relax. Of course, there are plenty of spots to sit during your visit, but one place is here just to relax and reflect. I… Continue reading Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 4, Relax
Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 3, Viola Desmond
Viola Desmond is one of the Canadian human rights stories in the museum. I didn’t take many pictures of her small exhibit, but when I go back again soon I will look to see if there is more. I do have links to websites with more information that I will add though. Most of us… Continue reading Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 3, Viola Desmond
Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 2, Nelson Mandela
It was less than a 5 minute walk to the Canadian Museum of Human Rights from the Forks, so I was soon inside, where I lined up to pay my admission. The lineup moved along quickly and I had soon paid for my admission. It is $17.00 per day for a Senior. I asked about… Continue reading Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 2, Nelson Mandela
Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 1, The Forks
The Canadian Museum of Human Rights opened in Winnipeg a little over 4 years ago and I finally decided it was time to visit. I took a bus to The Forks instead of paying for parking. We had been spoiled with having free parking there for such a long time, that many of us are… Continue reading Canadian Museum for Human Rights – Part 1, The Forks
Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 4
This is my last morning here and I decided to sleep in a bit and hang around for the breakfast that comes with the lodging. I have an east facing window in my room and saw that there was no chance of a sunrise picture in the park anyway. After I woke up, I packed… Continue reading Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 4
Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 3, part 3
We were still in the Bison Enclosure and had just left the White-tail Deer in the last post, and I was continuing along on the one way road towards the exit. This road has lots of curves, especially once you get into the bush and it is quite a narrow road (which is why it… Continue reading Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 3, part 3
Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 3, part 2
I was still at Lake Audy Dam at the end of the last post and was enjoying the scenery and the birds, when I saw something swimming off in the distance. It was actually more just the water moving that I saw. I zoomed in on it with my camera and was surprised to see… Continue reading Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 3, part 2
Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 3, part 1
Although it was very cloudy again this morning, I was up and out of the B&B first thing in the morning and headed to Grayling Lake in the hopes the clouds would clear enough for morning sunrise pictures. It was foggy and I remembered getting some beautiful foggy sunrise pictures there a couple of years… Continue reading Riding Mountain National Park in Early Fall – day 3, part 1
