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

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
In late February, the atoms of civilization move toward the light. A bus is coming. A sparse crowd will surge and compress into the lurching warmth of the bus. The days get longer. The people age, and leave little trace behind.
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.
