Last November I posted some photos of the MN Peace Officer Memorial on the State Capital grounds. I had heard that a new "thin blue line" had been installed and that it was now much brighter. While I have always really liked the memorial the "thin blue line" had always been a bit disappointing. The lights were very dull and in some parts it seemed they were burned out. I was out taking photos one night and decided to swing by the State Capital to see how the memorial looked now. I must say I was very impressed with the new lights.
To be honest I am not as happy with these photos (compared to those posted last year). I really like how the sky was still a little bright in the other photos. The ones I posted last year were taken during and right after sunset, while this year it was about 2 hours after sunset. I think I will have to make a point to get back to the memorial again soon, maybe a little closer to sunset this time.
If you have never stopped by the memorial I would encourage you to do so. Take some time to walk around the Peace Officer Memorial as well as some of the other memorials on the grounds.
