Lake Winnipeg

I think one of those days I need an extended weekend at my friend's lake house in Canada.
This has got to be one of the most relaxing and quiet places on the planet.

He had the house built from scratch, and when he bought the land it was just mud. He "installed" all the grass and hundreds of grown trees.
The gazebo was made from a grain silo, which he cut a slice out of it and had a screen put in place, along with a door. Pretty nifty idea!
