Took a train to Minnehaha Park, looked at the Falls, walked home.

Seasonally Appropriate Bike Rack
I’ve walked past this bike rack many times on my way to my Wednesday gig. Today I realized it’s seasonally appropriate, so I took a photo and performed a little image manipulation.
221b Baker Street
Wandered around the University of Minnesota West Bank campus with a friend, testing doors. If a door was unlocked, we walked in. Discovered this re-creation of 221b Baker Street. The University has the world’s largest collection of Sherlock Holmes/Sir Arthur Conan Doyle material.
Green Popping Against Blue
The green roof of the Minneapolis City Hall (built 1888–1909) popped against blue on my Downtown walk. Probably the best-known occupant of City Hall was Hubert Humphrey, mayor from 1945-1948. He became a US Senator, then Vice President in the Johnson administration.
Midwest Mountaineering
On my neighborhood walk, it was hard to walk past Midwest Mountaineering, a top-notch, locally owned outdoor gear and apparel store. Yesterday I did walk in and buy mittens fit for an Arctic expedition.
Sepia View
The view became sepia on my walk to Theodore Wirth Park.
Hazel’s
On a Nordeast Minneapolis walk with a friend, stopped into Hazel’s for a caloric brunch. Top-notch food, and art that demanded attention.
Minneapolis Vignettes
On my Downtown walk, the windows of the Marquette Hotel distorted and reflected while the Foshay Tower stood tall.
Splash of Color
Last night’s snow was sliding off Mill City Museum as I walked in search of splashes of color.
