Minneapolis Photographer Mitch Rossow presents daily photos of Minneapolis. Cityscapes, People & Perspectives: Mitch explains composition and techniques.
Back last Friday when I was looking for a shot of the falls for the theme day post, I wandered down in the river valley across from Minneapolis and found this miserable, desolate area right in the middle of the city. Everything down there was dead, brown and dirty. It actually made me miss the snow. Then on Monday when it snowed six inches of very wet slop & slush, I got over it.
Thanks again, for all the great comments on my April First Hoax.

For the middle of the town, I dont think it looks that bad. It could be bulldozed over and made into a parking lot.
I, too, saw lots of brown yesterday down by the Mississippi River, but another thing I saw was along the edges there was green growing. And aside from what the geese were quickly plucking out, there is greenage that will be coming through over the next 2 weeks, and by the end of April it will be green again, everywhere! At least the optimism people get for summer is back in the air. See my blog for yesterdays shot of almost summer. Have a good one!
The snow is gone but it’s still all brown in Minnesota. We still have bare trees but daffodils are poking up everywhere. When I go out in the morning to get the paper from the sidewalk, the trees are full of noisy birds. It’s coming. And nicer than Ross Island, I’m sure.
Right now, I’ll have to vote for ‘brown and dirty’.
