Its distinctive steel canopy and track arrangement were designed to accommodate both current transit operations and future extensions, reflecting the region’s long-term rail planning strategy.

The lake—renamed in 2018 to restore its Dakota place name—anchors the Chain of Lakes system and serves as one of the city’s most heavily used recreation areas year-round. Heavy snowfall often transforms the surrounding trails and embankments into informal terrain for skiing, snowboarding, and winter biking, reflecting how quickly the area adapts to seasonal conditions. The early-morning light and cleared parkway signal the coordinated snow-response efforts that keep the city’s lakes district accessible even during severe weather.

December 2022 — A fresh snowfall settles over Loring Park near downtown Minneapolis, softening the landscape around the park’s pedestrian bridge and historic shelter building. From above, the snow highlights the geometric layout of paths, railings, and terraces surrounding the bridge, which crosses a narrow channel connecting sections of the park’s pond system. Loring Park—a key part of the city’s late-19th-century park plan—remains one of Minneapolis’s most recognizable urban green spaces, bordered by the Loring Greenway and the southern edge of downtown. The new snow creates a uniform winter texture across the lawns, benches, and shoreline vegetation, with only light footprints and plowed walkways hinting at early morning activity in the park.

December 2022 — A heavy December 15, 2022 snowfall blankets the woodlands of Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis, transforming the Bassett Creek corridor into a monochrome winter landscape. Snow-laden branches bend over the slow curve of the creek, whose dark, unfrozen water provides one of the few contrasts against the dense white canopy. This stretch of Wirth Park—one of the largest urban parks in the Minneapolis park system—follows the natural course of the creek as it winds between restored wetlands, wooded slopes, and ski trails that date back to mid-20th-century park development efforts. The image captures the quiet, insulated atmosphere common in early-season snowstorms, when the park’s trails, waterway edges, and mature hardwoods take on a uniform, frost-covered texture.

Traffic moves through the busy Lyndale and 24th Street intersection while the fire scene remains cordoned off with temporary fencing. The image highlights the dense residential fabric of this part of the city and the stark contrast between the intact neighborhood and the gutted building at the center of the block.

December 2022 — This view looks across the residential neighborhoods bordering Interstate 94 in Minneapolis, an area shaped heavily by mid-20th-century highway construction. When I-94 was built between the 1950s and early 1970s, it cut through several established communities—including parts of Cedar-Riverside, Seward, and Phillips—reshaping street grids, housing patterns, and long-standing cultural districts. The snow-covered homes clustered above the highway reflect a mix of older housing stock and later infill development that emerged after the corridor was completed. The elevated ramps and interchanges shown here connect local streets to one of the region’s primary east–west routes, linking downtown Minneapolis with St. Paul and the wider interstate system.
