The Mississippi, The New Lowry Bridge, The Minneapolis Skyline

I took this photo from the 42nd Ave Bridge in Minneapolis. This beautiful night time photo features the mighty Mississippi River, the new and beautifully lit Lowry Ave Bridge that spans the river, and the fantastic Minneapolis Skyline. Both the new bridge and the skyline have their lights reflected in the river.

Minneapolis Skyline at Dusk

The sun had just set and had left a very beautiful glow in the sky of orange, purple and blue colors. Those colors made a fantastic background to the fantastic Minneapolis Skyline in this photo I took from along highway 280 to the east of the city.

This photo features the Witch's Hat Tower at Prospect Park in Minneapolis. The tower is sitting on the highest natural land area in Minneapolis. The tower is one of the few original water towers standing today in the Twin Cities area.

Prospect Park is a historic neighborhood within the University community of the U.S. city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The area is bounded by theMississippi River to the south, the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota to the east, the Burlington Northern railroad yard to the north, and the Stadium Village commercial district of the University of Minnesota to the west. The neighborhood is composed of several districts which include the East River Road area.

An urban village once served by streetcar, Prospect Park is now a combination of multiple districts and uses. Families live in single-family homes onTower Hill while University students reside in apartment housing in the western districts. Estate homes of the early to mid 20th century line East River Road. The South East Industrial Area (SEMI) in the north contains light manufacturing, rail yards and remnant grain silos. University Avenue houses a mix of retail and restaurant businesses from the Stadium Village area.
