New Manitoba Hydro building in downtown Winnipeg. Quote from their website:

Energy efficiencies include: a geothermal heat pump system (extracting heat from the ground in the winter, returning it to the ground in warmer temperatures); a living "green" roof with mosses, grasses and lichens; atriums to provide conditioned fresh air; a solar chimney to enhance fresh air ventilation; windows designed to maximize daylight and reduce artificial lighting; energy efficient lighting, pumps and drives; a double external wall to reduce heating and cooling requirements in extreme temperatures.

The building's form and orientation optimizes passive systems for ventilation, heating and cooling, contributing to the building's world class energy efficiency and a healthy, productive workplace.

Editing - crop, levels, shadows/highlights, resize for web

Your textures and coloring make this interesting!

Good colour contrast. The title is needed to fit this image into the challenge description, so my vote is assuming this building really is a "green" building (whatever that might be--perhaps built using green energy?).

Your title is the only thing that relates this photo to the challenge. The photo does not stand on it's own without the title.

Remove the title and the shot itself doesn't represent anything about triumph, success, victory, etc.

This makes more sense as an entry to the "Triumph" challenge after reading the title.

Nice sharp bold image - Hard to tell without the title what would be triumphant
