Riveting view

Rivet patterns in the Fifth Avenue Towers skyway from the Qwest building catch the high sun angle.

Real and fake people....er, Art.

On the south plaza of the Fifth Street Towers, from the skyway, a bronze family greets hope while real people greet...reality.

Red on red

Block E to Target Center skyway from inside the Starbucks.

Blue on blue

Skyway to City Center from Block E, facing East. Study in blue, with auburn accents. These were among the last skyways built, and you can see they have major industrial brawn. The sibling to this skyway runs from the west side of Block E to the Target Center, and is bright red, same exposed girder construct.
Fact: every skyway is a bridge on the State's roster, and is inspected accordingly.

Heroic skyway engineering laid bare

This massive piece of bridge engineering looms just at eyelevel on the skyway from Block E to the Target Center.

Hieroglyphs for the aliens

Stephen Hawking has advised us to leave well enough alone when it comes to signalling extraterrestrial life. That is kind of a let-down for a boomer kid who expected the Martians would provide our individual antigravity transports and mind-meld communications. In the meantime, I saw these fresh marks on the roadway beneath the skyway, and imagined the ETs thumbing (pseudopodding?) through their traveller phrase books, wondering WTF the humans were trying to tell them.
