Remaining Fountain

This fountain sits inside the Wells Fargo Building in downtown St Paul. The building when it first opened was the Minnesota World Trade Center and is attached to Town Square.

There used to be shops inside the lower floors of the Minnesota Trade Center Building, but now that it has been purchased, all that is there is office space and this fountain in today's photo.

Skating Along

There was quite a few people skating at the outdoor ice rink which sits along side the Historic Landmark Center, downtown St Paul. The rink has been there for three or four years now, but I have never taken the time to skate here, only photograph it.

Missing Cars

Those of you who are local and have been to the Minnesota State Fair are very familiar with the Sky Ride. I was shocked to find out over the winter, all of the Sky Ride cabs are removed and all that is left is....the cab holders, what do you call those things?

Crystal Ceiling

So, what you're looking at is another ceiling shot. This one comes from the Mall Of America, and it's something they've recently added. Hanging from the ceiling, as you can see, are long strings of crystal squares, triangles and other shapes with LED lighting above. As the crystals move they reflect light and catch your eye. It's a sight to be seen in person to get the full scope of it all. Hopefully this photo does it justice.

The Tubes

I actually found this artwork by chance. I was up in a skyway in downtown St Paul, and there it was on the second level of the building I was in. I've seen photos of these red tubes before, but until the day of this photo, I could never find it. I actually found this artwork by chance.

Windows 8

From this distance, I cannot tell if the bricks are painted white or if they are two different colors of brick. Either way, I like the contrasting colors between the two.

Side By Side

Many different ways to travel all intersect above, below and side by side. My location is the Wabasha Street Bridge looking east.

How Y'all Doing!! Yee-haw!!

How Y'all Doing!! Yee-haw!! is what this gentleman was yelling at the time of this photo. He was part of the St Paul Winter Carnival parade and I believe he was walking through with the alumni guards or one of the alumni 'Winds' [north, south, east, west], but I'm just not sure. He really excited the crowd and posed great for this photo. The best part of the photo, being as he is dressed like a sheriff, over his left shoulder is the sign that reads 'The Bank Of Saint Paul'.
