EXTRAORDINARY!
Literally brings a tear to my eye.

What a great vantage point. I was just reading about this on WCCO.com.

I was watching from the IDS Center, with my camera and tripod (sadly) in the building's garage. I had no idea these were going to happen. Cool shot.

So that's what that thunderous noise was around 11 PM on Sunday. I could hear the ruckus 30 miles away. I wish I had been there. You've caught this moment in all its power. Awesome!

Yes, I see the shadow too, very nice location to shoot this. My fireworks shots I took with my D50, came from a ballfield, across the street from where they were being launched.

You probably did not see mine, because they were purged almost as soon as they were posted.

Nice Job!

Holy crap that is AWESOME!!! Thanks for the comments on my photos by the way! I love getting feedback on them! I'm hoping to get some new lenses soon, like a 10-22mm, I will hopefully have some sweet pic's result from that... I'm thinking some street/night reflection shots with that could be neat.

Hi, dlangshaw --
The bridge that collapsed is not one of the bridges you can see here, it is just behind me in this picture.

I know you've heard it all before but your photos are truly amazing. The color is incredible. Minneapolis never looked so good.
