Winter Sunset Jog Past Stacked Canoes at Bde Maka Ska

A jogger runs along the shore of Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis as the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the stacked rowing shells. Bde Maka Ska, one of Minneapolis's Chain of Lakes, is a popular destination for recreation and is home to several rowing clubs. The boats are stored on racks during the winter months, awaiting the warmer weather when the lake is free of ice. The presence of the boats signifies the cyclical nature of the seasons and the enduring appeal of the lake for athletic pursuits.
