Minneapolis Skyline and Bde Maka Ska at Night

Minneapolis skyline reflected in Bde Maka Ska on a foggy night. The IDS Center, Capella Tower, and Wells Fargo Center are visible.
The Minneapolis skyline, including prominent structures such as the IDS Center, Capella Tower, and Wells Fargo Center, is reflected in the calm waters of Bde Maka Ska on a foggy night. Bde Maka Ska, the city's largest lake, is part of the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes, a system of lakes and parkland that has been central to the city's identity and development since the late 19th century. The juxtaposition of the illuminated urban core with the natural landscape highlights Minneapolis's ongoing relationship between its built environment and its significant natural resources.
