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

A favorite skyway
This is one of my favorite skyways. It crosses 6th Street between US Bank and Capella Univerity, which used to be known as 225 South 6th St. The linear and curved elements play against each other and are lit up by strong color to energize the pedestrian space as few skyways do.
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.
