The amazing thing about Minnesota, to me, is the changing of the seasons. Each season lasts just long enough (well summer could last longer i suppose). I always make it a goal to try and witness the exact moment when Ma Nature changes her wardrobe. In the spring i look for the moment when leaves start to unfurl, the summer for the intense colors, the fall for the change in colors, and then the naked trees of winter.
These pictures make it look like it's warm out but yesterday was a wee bit chilly at zero degrees in the morning. These are pictures as i'm heading out of downtown on the bus. As i passed the buildings, the sun blasted me. I had no idea what i was taking pictures of. The great thing about my little iphone camera, is that it loves the light. I think so far, these are my favorite pictures.
This was one of my completely blind shots. You can see the sun blasting away in the upper left. I thought it interesting that i was able to catch the nice potholes that line our many roads in MN. I'm not complaining. Chicago is far worse for potholes.
The next two pictures are of the new Twins Stadium. The bridge that we are crossing brings us to 94W. You can see that there are people parked below the bridges. I used to park there. It's the Rapid Park parking lot. Pretty cheap, i think it was $84 a month, compared to $120 to park in the garages. The commuter train also arrives below this very bridge. If i had been quick enough, you would have seen a photo with train tracks.
Here is my last shot before we start the process of merging on to the freeway.
Yesterday morning, i sat in the way back of the bus. I was able to get more pictures of my arrival downtown. I'm the first stop so there really isn't much to take a picture of. I'll post what i do have next.
