Some pictures from the past year which were appealing to me starting with a fireworks display in the early hours of January 1st, 2017.

A picture of the coureur de bois from Festival du Voyageur.

The Festival du Voyageur is an annual 10-day winter festival that takes place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The event is held during each February in Winnipeg's French Quarter, Saint-Boniface, and is Western Canada's largest winter festival.

I go for the ice sculptures and the food but in 2017 it was so warm that all the ice sculptures melted but there was the people... here with the trio of coureur de bois gathered around a warming fire.

And on January 7, 2018 this portion of the Mutual Ice Trail opened for the season. Hopefully the ice trail will open to 7km before long. Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Sun, 01/07/18 21:46 I just liked the paint like quality of this image of the Santa Convenience Store and the Oh Doughnuts shop on Broadway.

Comments by Paul Bracey on Mon, 01/08/18 20:05 That's no crocus! That's an orchid! And looking a tad out of place with these wintry scenes! ;) Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Tue, 01/09/18 12:34 I stand corrected as the crocus is an orchid.
