Portage and Main, Winnipeg, Canada, 2009

Portage and Main is an intersection in downtown Winnipeg. Many call it Canada’s windiest and coldest intersection. I paid my own homage to this famous spot on a lovely fall day. I fill much of my frame with saturated red flowers and green grasses, just to belie the frigid myth. I place the city’s World War I monument into soft focus as background context.

It was only fitting that a war is best remembered in a city's most uncomfortable spot. This scene reminds me of Carl Sandberg's quote: "Sometime they'll give a war and nobody will come."

How apt that the windiest and coldest intersection has the monument to a war.
