Urban Barn on Kenaston, chose Willow Place to decorate this room. As I’m also a residential decorator and work part-time at Urban Barn. It was my pleasure to volunteer my photography services for this great cause!

Viking Park – Gimli
I recently headed North to Gimli to Photograph Viking Park. I’ve been to Gimli many times, but have never been to this beautiful little hideaway. It’s tucked away along the banks of Lake Winnipeg. Viking Park includes three gardens with indigenous plants, grasses and flowers. The Troll Storm Garden, Elf Garden, and Breakwater Garden. The Viking statue was first erected in 1967 to mark Canada’s 100th anniversary. My local source told me the statue has moved a few times, but finally found his home here. Innovative Laser Works in Winnipeg hired me to showcase all their amazing metal work. Here’s a few of my favourites.
The lighting wasn’t perfect in the morning for some images, so I hung around until it was overcast. Check out the difference and detail in these images… Also the little troll house at the base of the Viking feet. How cute is that!
