I'm coming up on 5 years in my current home. My neighbourhood inspires a lot of walking and I knew that this view of the river, @CMHR_News and @TheForks would end up in a lot of my photos. I thought it would be fun to take a look at in each month. #Winnipeg 1/
January: I don't have a lot of January photos because the sun sets so far south at this time of year, so my camera is usually pointed away from the museum. #Winnipeg 2/
February: The sun is still way to the south so I'm not taking as many photos, but sometimes you luck out and show up at your favourite vantage point on just the right day. I eventually found out that this was leftover from a proposal and that she said yes. #Winnipeg 3/
March: The days start getting longer and the sun is further north, creeping closer to my favourite angle. Depending on the year, the water conditions can be quite different. #Winnipeg #photography 4/
April: April often brings lots of water with spring flooding along with interesting skies. I also get to move my walks a little later in the day. #Winnipeg #photography 5/
May: May brings leaves and warmer weather, and usually the first rainstorms that can result in interesting clouds. One year, the spring flooding left behind some rather larger flotsam. #Winnipeg #photography 6/
June: The summer months bring thunderstorms and more activity along the river. I love the long days and taking sunset walks at 10 pm. #Winnipeg #photography 7/
July: I have seen some truly crazy skies in July. The warm summer temperatures can lead to epic storms and clouds that make you feel very small. #Winnipeg #photography 8/
August: Already the days are getting shorter, and my walks are getting earlier, but we still get some awesome summer #sunsets in #Winnipeg #photography 9/
September: I have surprisingly few photos of the river from Septembers, probably because I spend much of the month at the cottage. Still, the few I have feel pretty special. #Winnipeg #photography 10/
October: The days are getting much shorter, and in most years, the river is getting lower. It's a great time of year for night shots and it's also when the sun lines up perfectly when you walk over the bridge. #Winnipeg #photography 11/
November: This is when we start seeing a lot of change. In some years, the ice forms quickly; in others, we can go almost the whole month without it. It's also a good month for sunrise walks that aren't too early. #Winnipeg #photography 12/
December: The sun has shifted south of my usual vantage point, but still affords some lovely colours. Last December, the @CMHR_News added some new interest by lighting the building so beautifully. I hope they do it again. #Winnipeg #photography 13/14
Thanks for joining me on a year of my favourite view in #Winnipeg through my lens (of both my iPhone and Nikon). I hope you enjoyed it. You can be assured of many more shots from my side of the river to come. #photography 14/14
