Target Field Station in Minneapolis North Loop

September 2019 — Opened in 2014, Target Field Station is a multimodal transit hub serving the METRO Blue and Green light rail lines, Northstar commuter rail, and several Metro Transit bus routes. It sits adjacent to Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins, and doubles as a public gathering space with an amphitheater, green plaza, and year-round programming. In this night view, the glowing red canopy and bold “Target Field Station” signage stand out against the dark sky, framed between the historic Ford Center (left, built in 1912 as an assembly plant) and a modern office building (right). A freeway bridge cuts through the foreground, symbolizing the layered infrastructure of the city. This mix of historic brickwork, modern transit, and illuminated signage captures Minneapolis’s ongoing balance of industrial heritage and urban redevelopment.

Under the Elevated Tracks, Chicago Loop

Under the Elevated Tracks, Chicago Loop

October 2019 — An illuminated stairway leads up to one of Chicago’s iconic “L” (elevated) train platforms in the Loop at night. The steel structure, marked with the system’s signature riveted beams, is part of the century-old elevated rail network that defines the city’s core transit identity. Below, a “Police Line – Do Not Cross” barricade and the quiet, empty street evoke a rare moment of stillness in an area usually dominated by the hum of trains and late-night traffic. This view highlights the utilitarian geometry and enduring presence of the Chicago Transit Authority’s elevated system, still serving as the backbone of the city’s rapid transit since the late 19th century.

July 2024 — Dario, a modern Italian restaurant in the North Loop of Minneapolis, serves as a popular evening gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.
