Beautiful day today. So I took full advantage and went into work early knowing I'd be out early.
First off I hit Northtown Yard I've never been there before so I was keen to take a look. I perched myself on the St Anthony Parkway Bridge. Now there's a structure with character. heres a selection of stuff that passed before me

But I did pull off a fairly decent wedgie

While my wife was garden shopping over at 101 market in Otsego I had her drop me off in Elk River on the off chance I might grab a couple of shots. This is the result

Maybe the shots aren't technically perfect. But they sure as heck will do for me at the moment
