High Rise

An swc contribution photo today. Having the two hot air balloons in the frame, each with iconic symbols of our country, has quite a message.

Happy Birthday America

Have a safe Independence Day America. Land of the free, home of the brave. I'm proud to be an American. Thank you to our founding fathers and those that fought for our freedom so I can post my beliefs in a free country without fear of death.

The Land Down Under

This perspective is from the underside of the Wabasha Street Bridge in St Paul, heading into downtown. This bridge was rebuilt about 10 years ago, give or take a couple years, and was then renamed the Freedom Bridge. I'm not sure why the bridge was renamed nor the purpose for the name. The bridge is very patriotic as it is lined with many United States flags on the top side of the bridge. Makes for a fitting name.
