Your pictures of Esplanade and the roof of Fort Gary Hotel are nicely done. (Good Chiaroscuro) I like light and shadows :)

Thanks.

That river looks effing amazing!

Does Winnipeg have a large Black population? It looks like it in your pics and i would've imagined Winnipeg having very few African Americans... for some reason.

Winnipeg doesn't have a large black population. A little over 11,000, but most are concentrated downtown or in nearby neighbourhoods, especially in this area:

(see visible minorities)

We seem to be getting a lot of new immigrants and/or refugees from Africa (Sudan, Ethiopea, Eritrea). The city centre is, however, very multicultural.

The West End is very ethnically diverse, Winnipeg is a very multicultural city, we even celebrate it for two weeks every summer with a festival called folklorama, the largest multicultural festival in the world.

like all major canadian cities ( excluding quebec city which is the whitest large city in NA) Winnipeg is very diverse, more so that larger cities like edmonton and calgary.
