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.

Skyline Over the Walker

Alas, the Guthrie Theater is gone, but it affords a delightful view of our grand city beyond.

Twins Stadium

The new Target Stadium from the "skyline' $13 seats. It's amazing how they managed to shoe-horn a stadium into a large block between a  railroad, two giant parking lots, two raised roads and a highway. Then they added a commuter rail terminal with a light-rail station above it. Startling how much is going on in this tiny space.

Twins Game from Foshay

From high above Minneapolis, the Foshay observation deck affords a spectacular view of all the buildings taller than it. It's surprising how little of the surrounding area can be seen from there. See the bright light poking out around the left of the IDS Tower? that's the new Twins Stadium. Well, some of it, at least.

Nothing but reflected and scattered light.

Wells Fargo Center from ING

The Wells Fargo Center fits nicely under the Arches of the ING building. Originally the Northwestern Life Insurance company building, this 1963 modernist office was designed by Minoru Yamasaki, who also designed the Twin Towers in New York. For another interesting perspective on the Wells Fargo Center (formerly the Norwest Tower) check out the Minneapolis page on Skyscraperpage.com.

They're Just Trees Again

Nature's promise of summer's return, no longer festooned with gaudy Edison light, once again assumes it's quiet place under the purple sky. In just a few months our emerald city of lakes will bristle with life again.
