Watching the Jellies

A youth watches the Jellyfish at the Minnesota Sea Life aquarium at the Mall Of America.

On The March

Looks like this one is a bit dated, as I see many wearing jackets, while our weather here is climbing near 80F degrees.

Night Lights

Happy Holidays

Bulbs In The Sky

They have to measure about six feet wide and hanging from the ceiling at the Mall Of America.

Shopping Time

The West hallway at the Mall Of America.

The Green Hallway

Out at the Mall of America, I've always liked the green hallway the best. I believe it's because of how open the floor is. They've actually added some lighting to the hallway as well. Before the new lighting, it was a very dark area, now it's nice and bright for photo taking.

Yesterday was the ceiling of the Mall Of America today is the floor.

Competition

If you look closely at this photo, on the left side of the hallway, above the store entrance is the Apple logo. This store has all of the latest ipod's, iphone's, mac books and everything else related to Apples product line. During the first week in November of 2010, right across the hallway, the competition moved in. The logo above the store on the right side of the hallway belongs to Microsoft. They of course have their xbox, Windows Phone, Zune's, and the rest of their product line. I do have to hand it to Microsoft for moving into Apple's neighborhood. I wonder if they were offered a house warming gift?

Clock Tower

On the corner of 98th Street and Lyndale Avenue in Bloomington. I've been to this location a few times in the past, but always during the daytime. I believe this was the first time I've seen the clock tower as the sun was setting.

Busy Bodies

I must have spent about 5 minutes taking photos of people walking by from above. Each one turned out differently than the next. This one has a mom pushing a baby stroller, you should be able to figure out which of the ghostly figures is the one I am referring too.

Would You, Could You

I just had to take a photo of this couple eating dinner. I was three floors above them when I took their photo of their dinner....

Lines, Shadows And Colors

I've always liked this hallway the most at the Mall Of America, it is the 'West' hallway. Perhaps it's the colors, or even the lines that I like. They've added in new lighting up in the high ceiling which brings out the colors during the night. This was always the least lit up hallway until the new lights were installed.

Frosted Christmas Trees

I only made one visit to the Mall Of America during the Christmas Holiday Season. One thing I've noticed is they've changed all of their decorations throughout the mall. Well, sort of changed them. What I've always seen year after year now has a 'frosted' look to it. I'll post an older photo of the Christmas tree below, one from 2007, the other from 2006, each with a slightly different look. Don't get me wrong, I like the change, I was just surprised to see the same decorations in disguise gave it such a new look.

 

What Do You See?

When I look at this Christmas wreath that is suspended in mid-air at a horizontal position, all I see is a great big decorated Eagles Nest. Call me strange, but that's what I see....how about you?

Theme Day: Doorways

Greetings fellow CityDailyPhoto bloggers and returning guests as you make your way through November's 'Doorways' theme day photos. My goal for today's photo selection was to find a doorway that was unusual, unique, eye catching, and fun, all in one photo. I believe I hit on a couple of my ideas....

To see additional theme day photos around the world, stop by the portal page for a convenient thumbnail view of all participants. As the time zone changes each hour, more photos will be added.

It was there when I took the photo, but this store at the Mall Of America has since closed.

Frogger

It is okay to admit you smiled when you saw this photo....
