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

Skyway + skyscraper = ...wayscraper?
The solid broad-shouldered pose of a good-old fashioned sky scraper towers boldly over the cantenary grace of the Gaviidae skyway. The skyway is intersected by an aluminum plane, which looks sort of like a blade thrust into a magicians box, bisecting the beautiful assistant.
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.
