sea of sirens

day : holiday inn :: 5 min walk from my office



night



i have never seen another person on this pedestrian bridge with me. a u of mn rent a cop was at one end, screaming her head off with people mocking her. a cop was at another, orderly filing people off the bridge. the woman next to me prayed, while i took pictures of the carnage.



it's technically still a bridge... just closer to the water...



chopper



at the base of a condo complex i often pretend i live it. my north dakota car, used to flat expanses, could drive up that steep incline.



a side street, filled with emergency vehicles and free water. the strangest part of the night was seeing so many lights and sirens. just when you thought the side streets were full, another cop towing a boat would arrive followed by two more ambulances.
