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

The genius of vehicle design framed by a complementary skyway window
You have to have a heart of stone to not appreciate these lines, contrasts, proportions. This tractor was parked beside the Target Center, and I think it looks like the fierce mien of an ancient dragon god resting between its awful flights.
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.
