Day 131 - Invasion of the Water Tanks

Highland Park Water TanksThe 1.0 and 1.5 million gallon water tanks in St. Paul's Highland Park neighborhood remind me of alien spaceships. These two tanks are at the same site where the historic Highland Park Water Tower resides.

Day 90 - Minneapolis from the Witch's Hat

MPLS from the Witch's HatI returned to the Witch's Hat Water Tower today because today is the one and only day this year that it is open to the general public. The tower is only open the first Friday after Memorial day during the neighborhood ice cream social at the Pratt School. I arrived shortly after 5:00 pm and to my surprise the line to go up to the observation deck was rather short (this was not the case about an hour later). The steps up to the deck are quite narrow and it gets a little tight when there are people heading down while others are making their way up. Once you make it to the top you are presented with spectacular views of the Prospect Park neighborhood as well as the downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis skylines.

Day 38 - The Big M

U of M St. PaulI drive pass the U of M St. Paul Campus everyday and everyday I think I should take a photo of the big M. So, today I actually stopped.
If you enlarge the photo you will see a tiny plane to the right of the water tower.
