Downtown St. Paul I94/35E

I know, I know, another photo from my balcony. This was taken last summer when I was just starting to play around with shutter speeds. I really like the look of the clouds and the lights. Also, I must have caught a plane in the upper right hand corner as it comes into Holman Field here in St. Paul.

Lily pad

Last 4th of July, my gal and I spent the weekend at a friends cabin in northern Minnesota. I was taking pictures of their dog jumping off the dock when I looked down and saw this lily pad. I liked how the water droplets were just sitting on the pad. After a few adjustments in Photoshop, this is what is left.

Minnetonka

 

This photo keeps randomly popping up on my screen saver and I like looking at it. It was taken in a park in Minnetonka that I would drive by while delivering out there. I am not sure of the parks name but it is located on Victoria St just south of Day Place.

Basilica of St. Mary

I was asked to take photos of a party in downtown Minneapolis. The party was on top of the Eitel Building on Willow Street. The view from the roof had amazing views of Loring Park and the Basilica of St. Mary. As the sun went down this photo presented itself.

Buddies

A friend from work asked a bunch of us up to his cabin on Big Kandiyohi Lake in Minnesota for a relaxing weekend. After a full day of boating, skiing and drinking beer, a storm moved into the area. A couple of buddies, Kevin and Theron, wanted to watch the incoming storm from the end of the dock. I shot this photo as they took in the show.
