I just got a new lens in the mail, and I have to say I am pleased. It is an older 4/3rds lens, made for Olympus cameras that came before Micro 4/3rds. It works beautifully with my Olympus E-M1, and is much higher quality than the lenses I have been using. It has a shorter focal length (12mm-60mm) than my other lenses, but is a great complement to them. It is comparable to the 12-40mm Pro that Olympus is selling now, but with a longer focal length and a variable aperture.
This is downtown Minneapolis viewed from the South during a June sunrise. If you've never been here, it's a pretty incredible city.
Funny side story... Someone called the cops while I was shooting this picture (I guess any picture of these building these days draws some attention). I guess the neighborhood in this area can be a little dicy sometimes (not that any part of Minneapolis is really rough). I just laughed and told the cops I was sorry someone wasted their time.

I recently spent a week in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. I visited multiple botanical gardens and area parks, but my favorite was Longfellow Gardens.
It's a relatively small garden, part of Minnehaha Regional Park. But what it lacked in size was more than surpassed by thoughtful planning, plant diversity and stunning beauty. The garden was very well maintained as well. I visited three times during my stay. The gardens are easily accessible via light-rail or by car.
I have seen Balloon Flowers before, but never a double .... I believe this was an ASTRA DOUBLE BLUE.
A panoramic from the Stone Arch Bridge during Thursday Night Football. Minneapolis sure lights up nice.
The TC&W Saint Paul Turn crosses the Mississippi River into Minneapolis' Warehouse District after a brief run to the Commercial that morning. Out of frame to the left was the former site of Great Northern Depot which, from its opening in 1914 to its closure in 1978, was one of the busiest passenger terminals in Minneapolis. A connection once existed between the depot and the Mississippi River Bridge which was used up until the station's closure.

I recently noticed that my Nettar's aperture diaphragm isn't closing down as it should. The blades are oily and looks more like an odd shaped football when it's closed down. Wondering if anyone knows a trusted repair guy I could sent it to.
Highway 35W leads straight into the heart of Minneapolis. From the 24th ave pedestrian bridge, a very popular photography spot.

The atrium of the city hall was spectacular, much more sweeping (particularly vertically) than even this shot would take in. The real surprise was the statue, "Father of Waters", residing in the center of things. The hall was generally empty, I guess most were working from home on this particular Friday - thrilling to have much of the hall to myself and a few curious security guards! Enjoy!
