Fog Over Bde Maka Ska with the Minneapolis Skyline

Minneapolis skyline reflected onto Bde Maka Ska
The illuminated Minneapolis skyline rises behind a fog-covered Bde Maka Ska, its towers mirrored in the lake’s still surface. Buildings like the IDS Center, Capella Tower, and Wells Fargo Center shine through the mist, their neon accents reflecting off the calm water. Captured at night, the photograph contrasts the cool, modern glow of downtown with the serene, natural quiet of the city’s largest lake—a reminder of how Minneapolis balances its urban form with its deep connection to water and landscape.
