Snowfall on Nicollet Mall with Illuminated Art Spheres, Minneapolis

Man walks down a snowy Nicollet Mall
A lone pedestrian walks along Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis during a snowfall. This pedestrian thoroughfare, a central artery of downtown Minneapolis, was redeveloped from a park-like street into a pedestrian mall in the 1960s to revitalize the business district. Today, Nicollet Mall serves as a hub for commerce and culture, frequently hosting public events and featuring art installations like the illuminated spheres seen here.
