Minneapolis at Night

I had the opportunity to do some night photography recently as I rode along with Kare11′s overnight videographer Nate Anderson. He took some excellent shots of the Stone Arch Bridge while we were out (link takes you to his blog post with these photos).

My favorite photos that I shot were of the 35W bridge and the Hennepin Avenue bridge. Interestingly, the lights on the 35W bridge are now green – versus their former blue…although they are actually supposed to be white – go figure. Anyone have the whole story on these lights?

I personally like the blue. If they change back, I’ll have to return for another nighttime shoot.

    These pics are fantastic! I was curious about the new green lights on the 35W bridge too, I did find an article from the Strib confirming that they were not supposed to be blue, but instead white… it does mention that they may change them for special occasions though, so perhaps this is St. Patty’s Day green still hanging on? http://www.startribune.com/local/35090229.html
