Bridges

through the twin cities

the mighty Mississippi

connecting, flowing

Last week I visited Minneapolis for a work trip. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially walking along the banks of the Mississippi. The bridges across that river are wonderful, whether the Stone Arch bridge illustrated* above, or the Hennepin Ave bridge, illustrated below. I ate at great restaurants, watched the Twins play baseball (twice), and appreciated the pace of the city.

It’s a fine spot, thank you Minnesota.

* the two watercolours were done during my trip, on very small (maybe 3×2”) scraps of watercolour paper that I had shoved in my backpack along with my brush pen and a travel watercolour pan. Sometimes small is nice, even if the bridges and the Mississippi river are grand.

P.S. I prefer bridges to fences.
