I haven't actually been downtown going on three weeks now. I was in rainy, cold California for a while, then holed up with the flu here in Bloomington. Rummaging through some recent stuff I came across this shot of the Energy Center from the Government Center skyway. It seemed to be a good icon of winter downtown. Seems to be something kind of Exodusy about it...you know, the pillar of smoke by day, the pillar of fire by night, leading the Israelites around for 40 years in the wilderness. This has been my smoke/fire pillar for 30 years, and it hasn't moved, and it's still a wilderness.
