Boom Island Lighthouse and Minneapolis Skyline at Night
The Boom Island Lighthouse, a navigational aid on the Mississippi River, stands illuminated against the Minneapolis skyline at night. Originally built to assist river traffic, the lighthouse now serves as a landmark in Boom Island Park. The park itself is a reclaimed industrial area, transformed into a public space that offers views of the river and the city's architecture. The lighthouse's presence highlights the area's historical connection to river transportation and its modern role as a recreational destination.
