March 2019 — The Schubert Club Bandshell on Raspberry Island, illuminated along the Mississippi River in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Completed in 2002, the modern arched performance structure serves as an outdoor music venue with views toward the historic Wabasha Street Bridge, visible in the background. The bridge, originally built in 1859 and reconstructed in 1998, is known as the only true vertical align arch bridge over the Mississippi. Its decorative architectural lighting reflects across the water alongside the flooded riverbank, highlighting how the river’s seasonal water levels shape the island landscape. Raspberry Island has long served as a gathering space and riverfront access point, evolving from a railroad landing to a cultural park and performance venue.

March 2019 — Illuminated office and residential towers rise over downtown Minneapolis after dark, their façade lighting and interior floors forming a dense urban grid against a winter sky. The blue-accented crowns and vertical light bands highlight the city’s mix of late-20th-century corporate towers and newer high-rise residential development that has reshaped the downtown core since the 2000s. In the foreground, a still water feature mirrors the skyline, emphasizing the geometry and lighting strategies used to distinguish individual buildings within a tightly packed central business district. This area reflects Minneapolis’s broader downtown reinvestment, where office, residential, and public infrastructure coexist within a walkable, transit-served core.
