July 2019 — An abandoned mine in South Dakota near the Black Hills.

July 2019 — Carved into a rugged slope of weathered schist and limestone, this small mine entrance sits near the historic mining corridors west of Custer, South Dakota — a remnant of the Black Hills’ 19th-century gold rush. The opening, likely hand-dug or expanded with early blasting techniques, leads into mineral-rich rock layers once prospected for gold, silver, and iron sulfides that fueled the regional boom of the 1870s. Surrounding the portal are piles of tailings and fractured quartz veins that reveal the area’s geologic complexity — part of an ancient mountain uplift more than 1.8 billion years old. Today, the forest has begun to reclaim the site, with pines and brush growing over the spoil heaps, blending traces of human industry back into the Black Hills landscape.

June 2019 — The Pillsbury A-Mill is a former flour mill located on the east bank of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It held the distinction of being the world's largest flour mill for 40 years. Completed in 1881, it was owned by the Pillsbury Company and operated two of the most powerful direct-drive waterwheels ever built, each capable of generating 1,200 horsepower (895 kW). The mill was named a National Historic Landmark in 1966 and has since been converted into resident artist lofts.

June 2019 — The weathered brick façade of Leder Bros. Scrap Metal Recycling reflects a century of small-scale industrial life in north Minneapolis. Faded hand-painted lettering and a rusting mid-century sign mark the receiving entrance for what was once a busy recycling yard, a place where scrap from the city’s rail lines and factories found new purpose. The combination of concrete block, yellow brick, and glass block windows speaks to a utilitarian design typical of the post-war industrial boom. Today, its aging surfaces and surveillance cameras evoke a district in transition, where traces of heavy industry linger amid redevelopment and adaptive reuse.

June 2019 — An electrical outlet inside an empty warehouse.

June 2019 — A tracked John Deere feller buncher with a yellow cutting head sits idle beside the Cedar Lake Trail in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, during early site preparation for the Southwest Light Rail Transit (LRT) extension. The machine’s “KEEP BACK 300 FT / 90 M” arm warning and the trail’s closed fencing mark the transition from a popular cycling route to an active construction corridor. In the distance, the bridge approach and industrial structures hint at the scale of redevelopment that reshaped the rail and trail landscape through Minneapolis’s western suburbs.

June 2019 — A John Deere 843L feller buncher sits parked near the railway tracks in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, during the early stages of construction for the Southwest Light Rail Transit (LRT) project. Designed primarily for forestry work, this heavy-duty machine—with its massive front grapple and thick treaded tires—was adapted for clearing brush and trees along the rail corridor. The mix of heavy equipment, rail infrastructure, and suburban backdrop highlights the region’s ongoing transformation as the light rail expansion reshapes Minneapolis’s western suburbs.

Its faceted steel and glass shell evokes the prow of a Viking ship, a nod to the team’s heritage, while its translucent ETFE roof allows natural light by day and reflects ambient light by night. This structure replaced the collapsed Metrodome and now anchors the eastern edge of the Minneapolis skyline as one of the most distinctive modern stadiums in the United States.

The project, one of the largest public works efforts in Minnesota history, has significantly altered popular urban trails like the Midtown Greenway and Cedar Lake Trail since construction began in the late 2010s.

May 2019 — Cedar Lake South Beach in Minneapolis, photographed in the evening light, captures one of the city’s quieter public beaches along the Chain of Lakes. Located west of Bde Maka Ska, Cedar Lake is known for its natural shoreline and tree-lined surroundings, offering a more secluded experience compared to the busier neighboring lakes. The sandy beach, calm water, and sailboats anchored offshore highlight Minneapolis’s integration of recreation, nature, and urban life within a few miles of downtown.

May 2019 — The maroon and gold Washington Avenue Bridge spans the Mississippi River, linking the University of Minnesota’s East and West Bank campuses. Seen from below, the bridge’s bold steel trusses frame the calm river and limestone bluffs, while the university’s West Bank buildings rise in the background. The bridge, completed in 1965, carries both vehicular and pedestrian traffic—including the campus’s light rail line—and serves as one of the most recognizable landmarks connecting the university’s two halves across the river.

May 2019 — Bruininks Hall, with its curved glass facade and modernist profile, stands prominently on the bluffs of the Mississippi River at the University of Minnesota’s East Bank campus. The building, named after former university president Robert Bruininks, houses student services and administrative offices while serving as a visual landmark along the riverfront. The structure’s sleek transparency contrasts with the limestone layers of the bluff below, emphasizing the union between natural geology and contemporary academic architecture that defines much of the university’s riverfront setting.

May 2019 — The illuminated Minneapolis skyline rises behind a fog-covered Bde Maka Ska, its towers mirrored in the lake’s still surface.

In the background, the tan brick towers of Riverplace and surrounding condominium developments reflect the area’s transformation from rail and river commerce to modern urban living.

May 2019 — The historic Minneapolis Main Post Office features these brass-framed service windows, emblematic of the city’s 1930s Art Deco architecture. Completed in 1933 as part of a federal building initiative, the structure was designed by architect Léon Eugene Arnal of Magney & Tusler and remains one of the finest Depression-era public works in the Upper Midwest. The marble-clad lobby and geometric metal detailing reflect the influence of the Works Progress Administration’s design aesthetic—modern yet monumental—built to symbolize reliability and civic pride during a period of national recovery.

May 2019 — An interior lounge and corridor at Target Corporation’s headquarters in Minneapolis, designed to encourage informal meetings, employee collaboration, and visitor reception. The space reflects Target’s post-2010 modern workplace philosophy — blending minimalist corporate architecture with hospitality-inspired interiors. Curved ceiling soffits, accent lighting, and red brand-themed wall panels soften the otherwise sleek office environment, while modular seating and large communal tables support group discussions and mobile work. This type of open, flexible workspace became increasingly common in large corporate campuses in the 2010s, as U.S. companies shifted away from traditional cubicle layouts toward collaborative, design-driven environments influenced by retail and tech sectors. The Target brand’s signature red is subtly integrated throughout, reinforcing corporate identity within the workspace’s architecture.

Built in 1905 for Spillers, the flour mill operated for decades before closing in the 1980s. The weathered façade and faded signage remain prominent features of the docklands skyline. Moored in front is the striking red Trinity House Lightship 93, formerly used as a floating lighthouse to warn ships at sea. Today, the area is part of the Royal Docks regeneration zone, blending remnants of Britain’s maritime and industrial heritage with modern redevelopment.

April 2019 — The METRO Blue Line curves toward downtown Minneapolis near the Cedar–Riverside neighborhood, passing below the colorful concrete towers of Riverside Plaza at sunset. The complex, designed by architect Ralph Rapson and completed in 1973, is one of the city’s most distinctive examples of Brutalist modernism. This area, once part of the immigrant gateway to Minneapolis, now blends historic structures like the Mixed Blood Theatre with the transit corridor connecting neighborhoods across the city.

The low-profile, bunker-like structure was designed to blend into the grassy landscape, housing offices, locker rooms, weight facilities, and the iconic indoor practice field under its distinctive inflated roof. The illuminated building and outdoor practice fields seen here reflect its primary role as a working athletic campus rather than a public venue. Even after operations shifted, the site remained symbolically tied to the team’s formative decades, including the Herschel Walker trade years, early indoor training innovations, and the development of multiple Pro Bowl players.
