Day 25 - Downtown Minneapolis

Only 6 days to go! This is getting tedious.

Here are some pictures I took in Downtown Minneapolis. I took the train from Bloomington and then walked around for a couple hours, a lot cheaper than parking.



United States District Court for the District of Minnesota
Minneapolis City Hall

Not that this is a great picture but it is a great subject!

Day 24 - Minnesota Vietnam Veterans Memorial

Here are a few photos from the Minnesota Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the grounds of the State Capitol.

Day 23 - State Capitol

Some quick pictures from the Minnesota State Capitol today.

Day 22 - MSP Airport

Today in honor of all those people who are travelling all over the country for Thanksgiving I have some pictures taken at Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport.

While I am not a very big fan of flying I thoroughly enjoy the airport. I remember being a young kid and asking my Mom to go watch the planes. We would go to McDonald's on Nicollet Ave to get lunch and then drive over to Post Rd on the South side of the airport to watch the planes land and takeoff. To this day I will still go over the the parking lot on Post Rd every once and while and just sit and watch the planes.

Day 21 - Normandale Lake

Another by request post today. The other day I asked what you wanted to see pictures of. Bill requested photos from Bloomington, but buildings more then parks, I hope this works!

These are some photos taken at Normandale Lake in Bloomington. In the background you can see the office buildings of the Normandale Lake Office Park and also the ski jump at Hyland Park.

Day 20 - NaBloPoMo Blues

I know how this guy feels.

Check back tomorrow for a real post!

Day 19 - Water Power Park

A return to pictures today. These pictures were taken from Water Power Park in Minneapolis. The park is located in the middle of the Mississippi River right at St Anthony Falls. You can get close enough to the falls to feel the water. Getting that close to the river is cool except the water in the Mississippi River smells REALLY bad, I believe this is might be the origin of the term "Mighty Mississippi".
