A picture even EDR's Flickr would be jealous of

Those of you in Minneapolis probably know about Maxwell's bar burning down last Thursday. What most people probably don't know is that the fire occurred when it was -10 out, resulting in the water from the fire hydrants freezing the entire building in a sheet of ice. My girlfriend and I spotted it while we were driving home from a movie Friday night, and so Saturday morning we treked on over and she took a few pictures. Many of them look like this. Anybody else in town get any shots of the impromptu ice sculpture?

That is awesome.

 

WAAAAY cooler than roller derby.

Awesome pic, one minor critique

 

I think the picture would be enhanced greatly by cropping the top 15% or so off, getting rid of any of the product portion of the billboard but keeping all of the building

Doesn't really look like it burned "down".http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

 

That is a cool pic though.

I'm trying to get her to upload some of the close ups. The amount of ice was pretty amazing and really needs to be seen to be believed.

 

I too think this is way cooler then dumb old Seattle roller girls.

Pretty neat. Looks like something straight out of the movie "Day after Tomorrow".

I was wondering if you were waiting for a response from him. Its a very cool picture.

He's obviously out scouring the globe for new pictures to come to battle with.

Your girlfriend has more talent than you. No shock there.

 

I relish and admire any picture of the Twin Cities in ruins.

 

And for a pictoral battle? I just bought a house this week, I haven't taken a pic in about a fortnight . . so I'll go old skool on ya.

She has an excellent eye.

What's the equipment like? And yes I'm referring to her camera.

That she does. I really wish she'd show off her portfolio a bit more, but she's too self-conscious.

 

She's using a Canon Eos Rebel XT, and the ice sculpture pics were the first time she got to try out her new zoom lens she bought for it.

where's the tiger's reflection? -- I think if EDR would have taken that picture he would have gotten the tiger's reflection as well.

[jason21nl]

taking pictures of animals at a zoo is like shooting birds off of a bird feeder..you need to be out in the wild starring down the big kitty.

 

just kidding, I like how the tigers tongue is sticking way out.

[Fatter than Joey]

It's probably a zoo postcard.

The Chorizo needs a single bead of sweat running down his face. Ai yi yi!

I figured you wouldn't like it.

 

But I bet my current series, entitled "Genetic Polution" is more up your alley.

"Genetic Pollution" kind of reminds me of something Pecker would be taking pics of in Baltimore.

[brewers19]

I wanna play.

Conceptually you are right -- I think EDR would execute better though. He'd have a way of making me think "Am I contributing to genetic pollution?" This picture just makes me think Minnesota sucks.

 

EDR would probably spell pollution right as well (as would many others). -- or were you trying to be ironic in your series title? indicating that perhaps we have crossed the threshold of no return and spelling has already become a casualty of the contamination of our genepool (jeanpool)?

What, like this?
