This beautiful pedestrian bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, links the Forks area just off Union Station with the city’s traditionally francophone area, St. Boniface.
(The photo above was captured with an SLR; the bottom one was snapped with my iPhone.)

If you’re on Via Rail’s western transcontinental train, “The Canadian”, keep your eyes — and ears — open for two members of Toronto-based band Running Red Lights, who will be performing aboard the train that leaves Vancouver on Tuesday, April 26, 2013.
I had the pleasure of enjoying Scarlett Flynn and Kevin Howley’s music as I travelled westbound with them through much of last week.
Check out their website to learn more about the whole band and to see blog entries recounting their epic cross-country journey.
They’re also all over social media:
