Footloose and in focus on the Minneapolis skyways. All photos taken on or between skyways on my daily meander.

Sunlight as subject, Hockney, not Hockey, in MN
From the skyway level of US Bank Plaza. The sun and reflections create a swimming pool effect in the atrium. I think of David Hockney's Southern California lithographs. Even though a Minnesota Burger King has nothing in common with them...
There are 8 miles of skyway used by tens of thousands of people a day. There is a horizontal grandeur here, and a lesson in self-organization for those who wonder what the public/private partnerships of the future look and work like. If you see me wandering around, say Hi. I might take your picture.
And, for the record, I will probably cheerfully give you permission to use these photos for non-commercial purposes if you ask, and give credit. Try it...or buy it if you want. But let me know.
