Here's the view many folks enjoy as they walk across the Stone Arch Bridge, SAB, in Minneapolis on a (rare) summer's evening when the sun is shining.

By the way, the SAB once again this year serves as a venue for an annual solstice celebration with dancers on Saturday.

Here's another view. It's from Xcel's "Water Power Park" on the river's east bank across from downtown Minneapolis.

It's fun for many reasons, including the very well done interpretive signs and then, of course, being closer to the actual falls of St. Anthony.
