IDS Center obscured by Canadian wildfire smoke, Minneapolis

Wildfire smoke full moon hazy IDS Center
The IDS Center, Minneapolis's first skyscraper completed in 1973, is partially obscured by smoke from Canadian wildfires. The building, designed by architect Philip Johnson, was a significant development in the city's downtown core and remains a prominent feature of its skyline. The hazy conditions, caused by smoke drifting south, significantly altered the appearance of the city and the sun, casting a reddish hue across the sky and reducing visibility.
