Minneapolis


The Guthrie Theatre (I am continually irked that Americans entertain the spelling "Theater," jerks). Actually, the first photo is overlooking the Mississippi River from a 178-foot "bridge" that just as in Alaska, leads to nowhere, but the view is nicer. The second is the front of the theatre, designed by Jean Nouvel, who won the Pritzker in 2008, as well he should have.

The start of the bridge and a flour company next door. At 11PM, there is only so much you can capture, and neon tends to stand out.

The public library. A far cry from the brick and mortar public library from my childhood.
