I went to the new Minneapolis Central Library in about a week ago. The architecture is pretty impressive especially when get closer or get inside the building.
About this picture, since I have seen many great pictures of this library from flickr site, so I tried to illustrate or capture the image of this interesting building from different ange. Here, I stood in front of the east entrance near the bus top on Nicollet Mall. Then I looked up to the building and found this nice reflection of downtown skyline on the giant glass wall. It is always nice to work with reflection especially on a nice blue sky afternoon.
In Minneapolis today, we have a celebration for the new Guthrie Theater located on the west bank of Mississippi River (downtown side). There was a huge firework display at night. I think it is probably better than the 4th of July fireworks in Minneapolis last year. The display tonight was lengthy with variety of fireworks.
I stood on the Stone Arch Bridge with my friends who came up from Ames, Iowa. They did not orginally plan for the fireworks, but it match their schedule well enough. Late Sunday night in Minneapolis is pretty quiet. So let the fireworks do their magic.

Guthrie Theater, designed by Jean Nouvel, is the newest crown jewel of architectural projects in Twin Cities. It is located on the west bank of Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis.
