Lowry Bridge

For several years, the Lowry bridge near our house has been "out". They were replacing the entire bridge for safety reasons and as the months wore on it seemed like it was never going to be finished. Finally, last fall the new bridge was opened and Northeast Minneapolis and North Minneapolis were once again connected.
I have to say that it is one beautiful bridge. I went and checked it out recently. My main goal was to get a photo of the Minneapolis skyline, but the bridge it's self is pretty photogenic, too.

The skyline of the city is so hard to capture. It's tough to find a spot where there are not obstructions, but I believe the Lowry bridge provides one of the best spots to see our beautiful city.

The Mississippi River is rather beautiful with the water being partially being frozen, too.
