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

The city as sundial
Only certain times of the year, when the winter sun rises far enough north and rides a low enough arc in the sky, does this shaft of light shoot through the gap between the USBank building and Capella towers, casting the long shadow of a northern season across 2nd Ave. So.
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.
