Winter Storm Along Bassett Creek, Theodore Wirth Park
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.
