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 :(

Siamo a nord-est della Colombia al confine con il golfo di Maracaibo in Venezuela .E' una zona desertica ricca di saline che il forte sole e il vento, fanno sì che l’acqua evapori lasciando lunghe distese bianche ,che con il lavoro manuale della comunità Wayuu si trasformano in montagne di sale brillante. Quest’immagine la ricordo bene : allora l’ho vissuta con paura poiché il gesto simbolico del capofamiglia non sapevo se interpretarlo come gesto di scherzo! Lì oggettivamente non si era inclini allo scherzo specie nelle zone più interne ed isolate. La vergogna della donna non spingeva in questa lettura, ma in gioventù per uno scatto si accetta anche di correre qualche rischio. Eravamo in due , ma contro un machete usato( non come fucile) ,ma per la sua naturale funzione ritengo che le saline si sarebbero colorate …con maggior saturazione di colore!
We are in the north-east of Colombia bordering the Gulf of Maracaibo in Venezuela. It 'a desert area rich in salt that the strong sun and wind cause the water to evaporate, leaving long stretches of white, that with the manual labor of the Wayuu communities become shining mountains of salt. This image I remember this well, we've lived in fear since the symbolic gesture of the head of the family did not know whether to interpret it as a gesture of joke! There was not objectively prone to joking especially in inland areas and isolated. The shame of the woman did not go in this reading, but in his youth for a shot you also agree to take some risks. There were two, but against a machete used (not as a rifle), but for his natural ability I think the salt would be colored ... more color saturation!
