the cold skyline in three parts


b and i were at the minneapolis institute of arts today. about 1/2 hour before sundown, we were right by a second-story window looking north at the skyline. i thought the city looked so sad and metallic in the diffused winter light. there was also a slight haze created by a fine mist of snowflakes, but that didn't show in the picture.

i was unsatisfied leaving the picture just as it was, so i first desaturated it in gimp. wow, it got colder, yet. us bank place looks like a thermos full of the coffee (or soup) this cold skyline needs to struggle its way toward springtime!

so, knowing it was my cold reality, i had to make it so unrealistic to keep it from clouding my mind. :-)
