Stone Arch Bridge, Minneapolis, Minnesota by Tom Nelson

Nikon D3

This 140° panorama rounds out my panos of the St. Anthony Falls area of the Mississippi River. It shows the Stone Arch Bridge, the University of Minnesota's Streamlab water research facility, a power plant and some grain elevators. It was taken from the Guthrie Theater's "Endless Bridge," a huge cantilevered balcony.
