A winter scene along the Midtown Greenway, the 5.5-mile rail-to-trail corridor that runs through the heart of Minneapolis. The trench and bridge structures visible here date back to the early 20th century, when the Milwaukee Road railroad used this grade-separated route to move freight without disrupting street traffic. After rail service declined, the corridor was converted in stages beginning in the late 1990s, becoming one of the city’s most heavily used bicycle and pedestrian routes. The snow-covered path shows how the greenway remains active year-round, with cyclists continuing to use the historic trench even in mid-December.

A nighttime view of the Minneapolis skyline as seen from Lake Street in Uptown, looking north toward the city’s central business district. The IDS Center, Minnesota’s tallest building since 1972, anchors the scene on the left with its rectangular black façade and illuminated roofline. Just to the right, the art deco–inspired Wells Fargo Center glows in its signature gold lighting, a design motif rooted in its 1980s postmodern architecture. On the far right, Capella Tower stands out with its distinctive ring-shaped halo, an element added during the 1990s wave of illuminated crown designs across American skyscrapers. The foreground shows the mixed-use buildings of Uptown, reflecting the corridor’s early-20th-century commercial architecture.
