Minneapolis Photographer Mitch Rossow’s daily photos of Minneapolis and the Twin Cities.
I stopped in the Wisconsin Dells on my way back across Wisconsin this weekend. As you may know, the damn broke and the whole lake washed down river last week. This photo was taken near the stream that feeds the lake. There is some water coming back in, but as you can see from the dock and the boat lying on the ground, the lake is gone. The water is only a few inches deep, just puddles caught in the sand. I walked out on the boat landing and jumped down to the lake bottom to take this picture.
More Lake Delton photos tomorrow!

Just got back from visiting my parents in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I’m running behind today, so you get to enjoy a backup photo of my lagoon. One block from my home is this lagoon between Lake Calhoun and Lake of the Isles. I think the lillypads are new this year.
Stay tuned! I came back through the Wisconsin Dells area and took photos of the great missing Lake Delton; I even walked on the bottom of the lake. Last week, the damn collapsed and the whole lake washed down river leaving a mucky whole in the middle of a summer resort town — very tragic for the people and businesses there.
I suggest they change the name the Delton Dry Lake, like Groom Dry Lake. It might draw a new, if interesting crowd. If you don’t know where or what Groom Dry Lake is, you probably sleep at night.

Back to the birds! My cousin Jenny and I were out stalking this Eagle and it’s mate. They’ve built a nest in the back of an industrial park in Northern St. Paul. We had fun taking pictures of this lovely if noisy couple. I have to confess, I can’t tell a male bald eagle from a female. Their genders seem as similar as geese. I guess it’s a good thing I’m not an eagle eh?

I’ve made it this far, time to stop and smell the roses. Try out the tag surfer on the right, that list of keywords at are all different sizes — you might find something unusual!

The Walker Library on the corner of Hennepin and Lagoon, across from the Uptown theater is oddly underground. I haven’t figured out if it’s a fallout shelter or just nuclear-war chic. It reminds me of the UW Parkside campus in Kenosha, designed in the 70s with student riot control in mind. It’s an unusual look which draws the eye, but a kin to casting an imaginative glance toward the big crash barriers around overpasses on the highway. Impressive design, but disturbing to imagine it doing it’s intended job.
The Walker’s big shinny “Library” letters hearken it’s namesake, The Walker Art Center in their brutal post-industrial socialist overstatement of the obvious.
Keeping in line with the whole socialist dreamscape, it has at least one bum sleeping on a bench at all times.
