Sunset Over Lake Calhoun

Another winter day comes to an end. We finally have snow here in Minneapolis. It's been unseasonable warm; strange to be reminded what winter is supposed to look like here.

Minneapolis Skyline at Sundown

Every photographer in Minneapolis has to have this shot. If you go looking, you'll figure out where to stand, in fact, it's delightfully obvious. The first time I went looking and found the location, it was like finding a geocache or and Easter egg.

Kenwood Watertower

The Chicago Bridge and Iron Works built this local landmark a hundred years ago in 1910. Every time I look up at it as I pass below it on the Cedar Corridor bike trail I feel like yelling up "It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!"

Nature Trail by Lake Harriet

As Green Week continues; here's the nature trail just north of  Lake Harriet. The entrances are  pretty well hidden, but worth the search.

Hidden Falls

I promise to get back here when the color green returns to my land. Enlarge this (click on image) and look at it, this is a beautiful area, there's a little creek that zig-zags down the valley with a pleasant trail and little rock walls holding back the tree-covered hillside. But right now it's far from ideal. On a technical note, I pushed the color of the sky to emphasize the colorlessness of the landscape.

Goodbye February

Colors Fade, Waters Run Deep

Sunlight dances across Nine Mile Creek and through the thistles as the Minnesota landscape prepares for winter's cover.
