Spring floodwaters surge over the spillway at Minneapolis' St. Anthony locks. This pano is not as sharp as I'd like; strong winds on the bridge shook the GigaPan Epic mechanism. For an overview of the area in better light (and lower water) see http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/25023/ |

The Mississippi is mostly ice-free right now, but this backwater has filled with ice floes. This is a false-HDR pano from single Canon RAW source photos. They were batch processed in Photomatix, then massaged in Photoshop. |

Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis from the atrium of Target Corporation's home office and flagship store. A warm afternoon brought out plenty of Sunday shoppers. |

West St. Paul is actually south of St. Paul, for obscure historical reasons. This image, like the others in this series, was made from the top floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. To see the view to the left of this image, see:

Winter in Minnesota is a time for fun and festivals. The oldest and biggest of these is St. Paul's Winter Carnival, eleven days of outdoor activities, competitions, parties and parades. The ice carving competition in Rice Park is always popular, but temperatures above freezing last week have taken a toll. It was 11°F (-11°C) when I shot this; lengthening the button-push time to 3 seconds seems to have solved my problem of skipped exposures. |
