The Boom Island Lighthouse near downtown Minneapolis glows as it towers over the newly fallen snow. The Hennepin Avenue Bridge, Guthrie Theater, and Gold Medal Flour signs are colorfully reflected in the unfrozen Mississippi River.

The Minneapolis riverfront and Stone Arch Bridge fit neatly inside this crystal ball.
