Minneapolis... It's been Six Months or So

Seattle has rain throughout the year, the Twin Cities have long and cold winters but summer and fall are nice and mild.Seattle has Starbucks, here they have Caribou Coffee. Asian markets and restaurants aren't as easy to find here as it is in Seattle and thus food is one of the things I miss the most. I've been biking a lot through summer fall but you also see hardcore cyclists who bike all year round through rain and snow. The people are generally friendly and down to earth and my first semester has not been so bad. 


I went through my albums, and these are some of my favorite shots of the city thus far









Downtown Minneapolis can be seen clearly from the East Bank at the height of summer







Northtrop Auditorium at the center of the Mall witnesses the many festivals, performances and graduation ceremonies of University of Minnesota







Lake Calhoun a few hours before sunset during Fall is relaxing to walk around







The Mississippi River freezes over during winter







Hennepin Ave Bridge, one of many that hovers over the Mississippi River, is also one of the prettiest. 







Peeking through the railings of the bridge







In the middle of winter walking along Dinkytown feeling melancholic and capturing a wispy view of downtown







Despite winter being grey and cold, colors still do pop out every once in a while... Leaving a feeling that's a little bit brighter
