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

Raising the pane threshold on the skyway
Replacing a pane of glass on the skyway between the Government Center and the US Bank Plaza. The worker on the right is convinced I am with OSHA. The whole thing had a kind of raising the flag on Iwo Jima feel to it.
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.
