Lost Clothes

On Christmas day you can see lots of lost clothes floating around Whittier park. I wonder who they belong to?

Colin Powell Youth Leadership Center

I discovered this amazing place one day while on a run.  It's at 2924 4th Ave. S, just north of Lake Street, and it's attached to the Cristo Rey Jesuit High School.

Honeywell Smokestack

View from 28th and 4th streets,  the old Honeywell company campus is now home to Wells Fargo.  The tower behind the smokestack was built by the Minneapolis Heat Regulator Co. in 1927 (you can see the name carved into  the light-colored material at the top of the tower on the other side of the tower), the same year it merged with Honeywell.

Full Moon Through Tree

Why are we so fascinated by the moon and other celestial objects?  Sat. morning there will be a lunar eclipse, the second this year.  There won't be another one till 2014.  See Nadine's earlier photo of the moon behind a tree--you inspired me.

Whose Prints?

Like Nadine this past Sunday, I wonder whose prints I am seeing in the snow.

Hot Color On A Cold Day

When it's cold outside like today,  I need a bright color, like the  magenta of this car hood, to warm me up.

This footprint is really big and the only defined footprint I have seen for yards around. I wonder who's it could be?

Street Talk

I find these utility markings to be fascinating.  Red indicates electric power lines while blue indicates drinking water.  That blue outlined object looks like a manhole cover to me, which I thought would be the sewer line--that's supposed to be green.  I haven't found a 'glossary' of what the different lines mean.
