Minneapolis in the morning

I wandered off course this morning. This is almost always a good thing. Before work, I drove down to the now defunct Maine street along the river to have my coffee. I carry a thermos in order to remain cloistered and not engage in cultural relevant matters at Starbucks. The entrance to the steps was barred, but I stepped over the 3 1/2 ft barrier and descended the surprisingly irregular steps. One would have a heck of a time running up and down these because the steps vary so much in size. Once the trees fill out with leaves this sort of photo, already oddly composed, will be even more difficult. Surprisingly blue.
