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

You need your eyes examined
Here is the location of Solomon Optical. The eight sided oculus is interesting, and a nice allusion to an old architectural tradition. Unfortunately, it puts the small facade of the optician in a traffic eddy that doesn't allow for much drop in business.
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.
