Ah that makes more sense. It just happens to line up perfectly with the mountain in that shot. Still, it must cast a shadow some summer evenings I would think.

Definitely not the same as the Calgary and Montreal aerials. The towers are the under construction Nova Centre and The Maple.

What a phenomenal stock of early 1900's 'skyscrapers' Winnipeg has! No wonder it was called the Chicago of Canada. I've never been before but have a feeling I'd love the architecture.

Absolutely. Great bones but still leaves something to be desired currently, but it's definitely headed in the right direction after some neglect.

Winnipeg is a great city. I'm so glad I got to explore this city in 2006. I was amazed by the Exchange district. A lot of people may take it for granted, but the sheer number of heritage buildings that have been preserved there deserves to be applauded. I suppose the fact that while other cities experienced a boom so to speak, while Winnipeg has not (up until now) has actually benefited the city insofar that these gems remain untouched. There is something to be said about preserving heritage and timeless classic architecture. Well done 'Peg!
