Dramatic downtown vista from the skyway


This looks like something out of a sci-fi interpretation of a Bram Stoker novel, but it is just looking south down Second Avenue on a midwinter day in Minneapolis. The Edwardian decoration of the Minneapolis club contrasts with the looming Metropolis-inspired Campbell Mithun building, while the neurotic tensions that gave rise to both styles is soothed and sublimated by the spire of St. Olaf church.
