Before the hoarfrost / by Grey Gallinger

Osborne apartments across the foggy Assiniboine

This photo was taken Friday night as thick fog descended on Winnipeg. I took this particular photo while walking towards Osborne Village, an hour later when I was walking home the fog was so thick that the buildings across the river could just barely been seen. I remember thinking that it was foggy nights such as this that produce the beautiful hoarfrost that covers Winnipeg's elms. If I had more forethought I would have woken up early the next day to go back and take a frost covered version of this photo in the morning sun.
