The windiest place in Canada.

The intersection of Portage and Main in Winnipeg is the centre of the city and they say it is the windiest spot in Canada. So while walking there I would have to say that it lived up to its name.
As I was standing there I felt the wind and saw the flags blowing in the wind I thought this would make a nice shot

@kimfaria This particular intersection does not actually have any crosswalks. People have to use underground pedways to get across

That does make a great photo with all those flags in the wind. The building behind them is really interesting too. Nice shot.

[karenann]

Beautiful capture, Brian ... windy shots are so hard to capture. But you did it ... fantastic.

[Sue]

from what I remember Portage and Main also has the high curbs (to prevent crossing) and it has an underground tunnel for crossing the intersection...and...I thought it was also called the center of Canada?

[Claire]

Amazing shot, love those high risers they go on forever, great capture with those flags

[Michele]

Cool!! Love the shot!

[Peter de Graaff]

The windows seem to be moving too

[Debbi M]

Wow. Great shot. Love all the symmetry of the flags.
