Winnipeg is a city defined by rivers. Historically, it's how people came to settle here, at the merger of two major rivers.
The paths and parkland along the riverside are one of Winnipeg's public gems.
Esplanade Riel, the prominent pedestrian bridge connecting downtown to St. Boniface, balances a restaurant in the middle.
The St Boniface Cathedral, just tall enough to peak above the trees, is a stunning example of French-Romanesque architecture.
The facade stands proud today, but much of the church was destroyed by a fire in 1968.
The cathedral sits at the site where French/Métis settlers established themselves in the early 1800s.
Esplanade Riel again, and you'll see a lot of it in Winnipeg pictures. It's probably the most photographed piece of the city.
