It is so tragic the effects of global warming. I really like the sad feeling the image portrays, true erosion a great title. Brilliant

It's not actually anything to do with global warming. There is a man made damn (govt. controlled) between Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg where they control the level of the water flowing from the Lake Manitoba side into Lake Winnipeg and they have been keeping Lake Manitoba unusually high over the last few years which has caused a lot of damage to the south shore when ever there is a strong north wind. The large waves have just eroded the shore line causing the roots of the trees to be undermined and there is less and less beach.

Thankyou for the information. I don't know which is the lesser of two evils, maybe both considering the ongoing damage. When man tinkers with nature for his own benefit there is always effects down the line. Everything in our eco-system is a delicate balance, as you have seen with the dam beening kept high at Lake Manitoba. Understandably we need water, but at what cost to the environment. This reminds me of Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, where I once lived the water crisis became so severe due to prevailing drought, they proposed using sewerage water....too much of a stink by the local people~pardon the pun. Alot of people are on tank water there with town water, anyway, the Toowoomba council won and filtered treated sewarage water is used in Toowoomba. Now thats the end of my stinky tale.

I must say that I really like your last additions. They are really professionally (I hate that word... but there is no better right now) done.
I think you are getting the maximum from your Canon.

That it a great compliment.
Yes I am pretty happy with my little Canon. It isn't a fancy SLR but for someone just learning photography it has enough bells and whistles. My old brain is still trying to figure things out. 
Take care my friend.
