Very informative and interesting post, TravelingCanuck! I lived in Winnipeg for about a dozen years during my teens and early 20s, and go back often to visit my elderly father who still lives there in a retirement home. I've seen some of the street art in the city, but not these very interesting murals. I note on the Valour mural photos there appears to be white stuff falling from the sky. This could, of course, happen almost any time of year in Winnipeg. Anyways, thanks for sharing and hope...

You are correct. I was there mid April and there was a light dusting of snow falling. I will be back in the fall or new year again and plan on checking out more murals for a part 2.

Great piece! Those murals are incredible!

Thanks. What is nice is that most murals has some link to the cultural, ethnic or historical aspect of Winnipeg. They show a diverse cross-section of the life of the city over the years.

Looking forward to Part 2...some of the ones you've showed us here are incredible.

Thank you. If my schedule is good I will be back to Winnipeg in the fall sometime and plan to do more for a part 2.

DrFumblefinger explores the murals of LaCombe, Alberta, featuring scenes of the town's history, from the pioneers to the 1930s.

The Korean War Veterans' Memorial is an interesting monument in Washington DC. It has several distinctive areas and to DrFumblefinger, had an eerie quality.

Gumbo was visiting the Church of St. John the Baptist in Lake Bohinj. The medieval church is beautifully situated in a lovely natural setting and features some interesting murals of its patron saint.
