Minnesota Nice... A View of Minneapolis.
This also could have been titled "Nothing like a Subway drink thrown at your back" Lol!
Another running joke about Minnesota and the people that live here is that we are especially nice. That is of course compared to other cities. Not sure where this all came from but I always thought it was funny. I'm guessing it has to do with driving conditions and similar things. Sure.. if you live in New York or LA you are going to be a unhappy, stressed driver on the roads. They act like we have no congestion here and it isn't frustrating for us? Wrong, we have plenty of congestion, aggressive drivers and it seems like evertime they update the highways.. as soon as they are done.. we have already outgrown them! I dunno..
One thing that I noticed once I got into photography is how small Minneapolis looks in photos. It looks tiny. We do also have St. Paul. Which is another major downtown area. That is why we are called the Twin Cities..
Anyways.. Nikki and I decided we wanted to go out and shoot a different view of the city then what we had shot before. The sky was looking good so we headed to the North side. This was shot from the Broadway bridge.
The reason I said this could have been titled "Nothing like a Subway drink thrown at your back" was as we were standing on the bridge which is very busy with cars and people.. out of knowwhere a Subway cup about half full of soda slams into Nikkis back. It happened so fast that we were like "what the f***???? I'm sure some young kids thought it was the funniest thing ever. We didn't, especially Nikki. So... are we really Minnesota nice? Sometimes! When I'm out in Oregon shooting with you PNW folks in October you'll have to let me know if I live up to our name!
As the light slowly was fading the clouds were turning into nothing. So, we decided to leave. This was the last image that I took before we headed out. Will definitely be back to shoot this busy location again once the sky cooperates.
I just looked and this was taken at the beginning of May.. Seems like it was just yesterday. Where did the summer go :(
