Nicollet Mall

A Greyhound dashes across Nicollet Avenue as the hardy Minnesotans traipse about without coats. So busy scurrying about in search of gifts and sustenance, so little time before they must return to their glass and granite festooned temples of commerce.

Starburst Express

Remember the part about me and Dusty getting detained by the police? This is kinda where we were. That's the new Northstar Commuter station on the left, below the new Target Field Stadium, oh, and that's a BNSF freight train bearing down on us. One of four that came through in a short time. I guess the joy of playing by the tracks in the open fields encourages bad behavior in the city. Seriously, don't be like me. If you do decide to do what I do not what I say, keep moving, so the transit police don't have time to track your sorry butt down. My favorite part of this photo, aside from the starbursts, is the refection on the wet rail ties.

Early Morning Light, Minneapolis

Some days are just harder to start than others. A little harsh light can only make things more painfully clear.

Light Rail Station at Hennepin

The Minneapolis light rail train waits for pedestrians and traffic before crossing Hennepin Avenue.  Notice the car on the right? Yes, Hennepin is now a two way as well as First Avenue. The new Target Stadium is barely visible in the top left. The December 1st Theme day photo is Waiting. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants
