Walker Art Center at Night

In the great words of James Lileks, it's the Rock'em Sock'em Robot, and he's pissed. Why is there a giant robot trying to eat Minneapolis? This image has not been edited; this thing really exists. The Walker Art Center is an aluminum-encrusted monstrosity that actually scares me — this is about as close as I dare get. Just below Mr. Rock'em is a tunnel. This allows Interstate 94 to go under one of the busiest intersections in the area. It's not the big dig, but it's pretty cool. The pedestrian bridge I'm standing on is insanely loud; the sound coming out of the tunnel/acoustic shotgun blasts straight at the bridge. Aside from the cold, going deaf and being chased by an angry giant robot, I had a good time.
