Winnipeg Lightning

Winnipeg Lightning

Skyline as seen from St. Boniface.

I was pretty excited to get this shot, as it marked the first time I successfully captured an interesting shot of lightning. Only took around 15 years of trying.

Mammatus Clouds Over Winnipeg

Mammatus Clouds Over Winnipeg

Downtown skyline as seen from St. Boniface.

Okay. I'll admit it: I had no idea what these clouds were called. I had to look them up, and had never even heard the word "mammatus" before I did. I guess that shows how rarely they're seen over Winnipeg.

Main Street (built 1980).

Can't say this is one my favorite buildings in the city, but in front of a sky like this, even cold modernism can look good.

Stay tuned over the next few days for some more crazy weather pictures, captured the same day as this one, waaaay back in August.

Some people enjoy the chilly Autumn weather we've been experiencing lately, while others, clearly, enjoy the sunshine.
