I was on the Stone Arch Bridge, heading back to my apartment, when this sky stopped me in my tracks. A thunderstorm was passing east of the city, and the clouds were putting on a show, lit up from within by lightning. I paused my walk home long enough to capture it: the storm's glow overhead, the 35W bridge lit up below, and the Eleven on the River tower anchoring the skyline.
I hope this piece brings a little of that Minneapolis river energy into your space. Feel free to share it with anyone who loves a dramatic sky as much as I do.

I was walking back to my apartment across the Stone Arch Bridge when I noticed the sky doing something worth stopping for. A thunderstorm was passing just east of the city, and the clouds were unusually active, lit from within by near-constant in-cloud lightning, even though no bolts ever broke free to the ground. I paused my walk long enough to set up and capture it.
The Stone Arch Bridge runs along the left edge of the frame, the 35W bridge glows across the middle distance, and the Eleven on the River tower rises on the right, its windows lit against the storm-darkened sky. It's a scene that only comes together with the right kind of weather, restless clouds, a city lighting up below, and a river carrying all of it in reflection.
This piece is a great fit for anyone who loves dramatic skies or the Minneapolis riverfront, a bold, moody addition to a living room, office, or loft-style space.
Looks best on High Gloss MetalPrint for deep contrast between the storm clouds and city lights, or Acrylic for extra depth and a glass-like shine on the river's reflections.
