Minneapolis Skyline from Bde Maka Ska, May 2022

The Minneapolis skyline is visible across Bde Maka Ska, a prominent lake in the city's chain of lakes. The lake, originally named Lake Calhoun, was renamed Bde Maka Ska in 2018 to honor its Dakota heritage. The skyline represents the central business district of Minneapolis, with its tallest buildings including the IDS Center and Capella Tower. This view from the lake's edge, near Thomas Beach, offers a perspective on the city's development and its relationship with its natural landscape.
