Exchange District
Winnipeg's Exchange district was almost deserted on xmas Sunday, apart from the bustling dim sum restaurants in old Chinatown. What better way to start a photo walk?

2011 Worldwide Photo Walk
Some photos from my participation in the 2011 Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk
Building the Canadian Museum for Human Rights
Some shots of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights under construction.
Sunset and Moonrise
The moon was rising over St Boniface while the sun was setting.
M&G
iPhoneography
I started playing around with Camera+ and Instagram on my iPhone. I use Aperture 3 for photo editing, but find this to be a lot of fun, in the spirit it is intended. Also, Aperture doesn't run on my iPhone. If the photo wasn't taken with my iPhone, it was edited on it. If you are on Instagram, I post under 'Bergersoft'.
Summer Vacation 2011
Once again we went out to Red Rock Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park in Eastern Manitoba.
Yellow and Orange
WPC Landscape
This set was taken at the Winnipeg Photo Community group shoot in Westview Park (affectionately known as Garbage Hill, since it is a landfill site). I love taking pictures in the evening light.
WPC Macro
Photos from the Winnipeg Photo Community group macro shoot at the Assiniboine Park English Garden and Leo Mol Sculpture Garden.
Esplanade Riel
The bridge over the Red River leading to Provencher Blvd is, in my opinion, one of the most visually appealing features of the Winnipeg skyline. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is under construction at one end, and Winnipeg's French Quarter is at the other. I took a few pictures on Canada day, but I was drawn back to the bridge the other night, thinking that the evening light would be really nice on the bridge. I was lucky to find the moon rising over the old St Boniface Basilica, and occasional flashes of heat lightning.
Leo Mol Garden Lily Pond
Ponemah Pier
We spent the afternoon at the beach at Ponemah, on Lake Winnipeg. I went back around sunset, because I knew the light would be nice on the pier.
Swallowtail Butterfly

We celebrated my wife's birthday with a weekend getaway to Chicago
Cloud Gate, Chicago
Some photos of the Cloud Gate (coffee bean) in Chicago's Millenium Park

Omands Creek Park Railway Bridge
I took a walk over the bridge to watch the river flood. It was the bridge that swept me away.

Summer Vacation 2010
We spent two weeks at Red Rock Lake in the central Whiteshell and went exploring the surrounding area.
Winnipeg Architecture at Night
Winnipeg has some great buildings, and they look great at night. I will add to this collection as I get some more shots.
Winnipeg Clinic
The Winnipeg Clinic building on St Mary Ave is an example of modernist architecture. The building was first built in 1942 as a two-storey limestone and glass-block building, it was extended in 1947 and finally once more in 1961. The architect was Frank R Lount. I work across the street and keep expecting to see George Jetson zoom in, late for work.
Folk Festival
We spent Saturday, July 10 at the Winnipeg Folk Festival in Birds Hill Park
Wolseley
We went for a family bike ride down Wolseley Ave in Winnipeg, stopping to play and shop.
Metamorphosis
The metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a painted lady butterfly.
Roller Derby
We were out for dinner and we saw a poster for Roller Derby. 'We've never done that before. It sounds interesting', we thought. It was a match between the Murder City Maidens and the Fargo-Moorhead Roller Girls. The photos speak for themselves.
Mating Coots
A pair of coots in a mating display.
Red Admiral
Some of the plants around our house must attract red admiral butterflies, since quite a few of them come to visit.
McGillivray Falls
Some photos from the McGillivray Falls hiking trail in Whiteshell Provincial Park, from late spring 2010.
Jacob - Spring 2010
Old Favorites
These are some of my old favorites.
Playing with Colour
My new Nikon D90 has a feature called 'Picture Controls'. There are presets that mimic film types like Fuji Velvia or Kodak Ektachrome or Kodachrome. These were taken with the 'Vivid' setting.
Mayan Riviera 2010
We needed a vacation. We went to Mexico. We had fun.
Summer 2009
We spent a week at Red Rock Lake in the Whiteshell, and then a few days at Fairmount B&B near Minnedosa. I also got in a day of fishing on Lake of the Woods.
Owl
The owl was perched on the wires just outside our family room picture window. It had a perfect view of our budgie. Mmmm... budgie. According to Dave Flight, it's an Eastern Screech Owl (gray morph). It didn't make any sounds when I saw it. Not a peep, a hoot or a screech.
Summer 2008
Some pictures our summer vacation in the Whiteshell and Lake of the Woods.
Jessica Lake 2006
Some photos from our summer vacation at Jessica Lake in the central Whiteshell.
Summer 2005
Some photos from the summer of 2005. We did a road trip out west, through Jasper, Edmonton, Banff and Calgary. We also spent some time at West Hawk Lake and Lake of the Woods.
Manhattan 2005
We managed to get a weekend away together in Manhattan.
Summer 2004
We went on a bed and breakfast holiday across Western Manitoba, and spent some time at Lake of the Woods.
Fungus
I love finding mushrooms and fungus growing outside. Sometimes I am surprised by where it is growing, and how alien it looks. I love taking pictures of them, too.
Abandoned Farm
We were driving back from a trip out west, and we went off the beaten path in Saskatchewan. We found an abandoned farm and I thought it looked very photogenic. The mosquitoes were ferocious, but we managed to get a few pictures before they drove us away.
Cuba 2002
Some pictures from my trip to Varadero, Matanzas, Cuba in February, 2002.
Paris - June 2001
