A Day at the Zoo

It's been a while here hasn't it . . .

To update: I'm in Winnipeg now and have started my new job. A job-type job. I've also been hanging out with my family quite a bit, since I now can do so. One of my hangings out with family was spent this past Sunday at the Assiniboine Park Zoo here in Winnipeg. I went with my sister and her husband as well as their two kids. You'll notice that these pictures feature neither family nor exotic animals. I mean no offense to either, my sister's family are all lovely people, and the animals were nice too, but, like I said to my sister on Sunday when she asked why I was taking pictures of such odd things:

I have my obsessions.

One of many oddly modern structures at the Zoo.

Faux Asian.

Birch outside of the the lion enclosure.

Camel enclosure.

More modern structures.

I've noticed buildings in this style around Winnipeg; it seems to me
like a uniquely northern modern style of the 60s and 70s. It makes me
think of the National Film Board of Canada for some reason.
