I like leaving it in place with commentary, it gets us wondering about our place in this situation in life- will I be immortalized as a well meaning machete of colonization and be oblivious to harm or humanity? Art is so powerful!
Hey, that's only 10 miles from my grandpa's farm on the CPR line and by the two creeks and namesake school. Never was more than a couple buildings there. Yet I don't think I saw this trestle. But anyway, he had a water tower that supplied the train car for the steam. I don't know what years it operated. I have pics I took in 1992, the last year I was there. It was sold in 2002 when my uncle passed. I was also there centennial year 1970 and a few times in the 60s.
I believe that this bridge was the sight of another fatal train accident in the late 1960's. I vaguely remember, as a child growing up in Virden, Mb, going up to see the clean up process of a train accident which I think was at this trestle. Can anyone verify this?
There may or may not be broken dinner plates at the bottom of that valley, thrown there from the train by my Dad when he worked on the train back in the 60s.
Great location and trail system! Thanks to all who helped in building these awesome trails! Would be nice to see some expansion here in the future for a dirt jump park ( all ages and skill levels)...as well as more wood features to excite some of the bmx guys and freeride minded old school riders who want to progress their bike skills! Love these trails!!!! Excellent design!!!
Great to see a view of the lake condition. I don’t have a cottage there but like to get out in various conditions to see the lake and have been wondering what they are now. I enjoyed especially your shore variation footage as well as some of the more textured ice breaking up in Sandy Bay. Must be fun being in the drivers seat 😅 Looks like you’re enjoying the process. Keep them coming 👍👍
Thanks SO much René! Really appreciate that it was useful to see for you and really appreciate the comments on the abstract shots. I have a bunch of stills I took that I'll be posting on IG that I think you'll dig too!
WOW! That's SUPER high praise! Thank you SO much JJ. Really appreciated. I would really like to be more consistent and frequent with my uploads but that's not easy with 3 young kids. I have SO many videos in the can but not enough time to finish or post them. Ever forward!
Great photography! One of Manitoba’s hidden treasures. Worked for CN in the 70’s. Walked across that bridge while we were hanging cross arms and running wire for Signals. Grew up about 15 miles NW from there. I was surprised to find video footage of this bridge. And pleased you dug up the early disaster pictures.
That is SOOOOO cool that you worked on this! That's like a needle in a haystack coincidence! Thanks to GG from the MB Historical Society for the pics, really appreciate them!
@@DanHarperPhoto tour bus (North America), that’s ok I have a friend who lives 30 mins away from the bridge who knew nothing about it till I mentioned it.
@@DanHarperPhoto avata 2 looks nice! It's very tempting... maybe if I used my avata 1 more than just letting people try FPV with motion controller lol If you ever want to get into some true FPV let me know! I'm in Winnipeg as well.
@@jcheater Yes PLZ! I'm going to practice on the DJI Virtual flight thing and try not to suck on that before I put my Avata into manual...then we'll talk ahahha! I REALLY don't like the motion controller for the Avata 1...it's terrible. You cen get used to anything but...you should't have to... The Avata 2's controller "looks" way better. BTW just a heads up that I just posted another FPV video here on YT from Vic Beach, check it out! Do you ever post your FPV videos?
Great views! I did not see my childhood house, but got a view of the neighborhood I have never seen before. So much has changed in 35 years since we moved away from Transcona. Are pink flamingo lawn ornaments still a thing there? 😁
Both are directly connected in different chargers. Even those slots are chargers. The reason is that one of the chargers has bigger power output. And the other reason is that the original avata charging hub supports only 45W, as the fly more hub supports 65W charging. So even if you have 65W charger, you won't charge it as fast in the original hub. For avata batteries buy adleast 65W charger or higher. It can be 120W, the hub will only take 65W. You can use the rest for charging goggles or RC along with batteries.
Thanks SO much Paul! Appreciate that. I really like what you're doing with your channel. My dad had a heart attack "early" in life and it worries me for my health as well. I'll put Brooklands on my list. It's one that will take a bit more coordination with the airport but I'll definitely make it happen!
I came here from IG, hoping to see my house in these bigger clips. I don't think I saw it; I kept wanting to pan the video a different direction 😁. I'll bring a second set of eyes to confirm, but I didn't see the east perimeter. This is a huge project you've taken on...enjoy!
You can see the East perimeter starting at about 3:41 where you can see from McMeans all the way to St Boniface Rd. However honestly if you're close to the perimeter I'm not close enough to it to really give a good view of any of the houses over there. This could be one of those cases where the area is so big I may not have been around your part of the larger neighbourhood. It's an issue I think I'll see a lot during this project and will have to return to neighbourhoods multiple times to cover other areas of them. HUGE thanks for checking it out anyway. Was it cool to see your broader area from the air?
@@DanHarperPhoto you definitely captured the beautiful green of west Transcona - and thank goodness for the vibrant red canopy over the CN engine on Plessis! But as for us "stuccoville" in the east, I couldn't see us. It would be interesting (and kind of sad) to see the transition from the tree canopy to the roof lines. Obviously this something in many neighbourhoods, but I'm sure interesting from the air!
I would definitely like to do that area. I put it on the list! You're right tho, it's right by the airport so it will need a bit of extra coordination but I'll make it happen.
