Bridges and waterfalls and diners. Oh, my!!!

I've had my new camera for a little over a week and we seem to be getting along fine. I think I almost have it all dialed in. Last night I was on my way over to Minnehaha falls and decided to go down and take some pictures of the lock and dam. I never realized the view of the Ford Pkwy. Bridge was so good from down there.

Next stop was Minnehaha falls. I was intending to just snap a couple of photos from the top and be on my way. However I am me and I can have some really great ideas such as climbing over the no trespassing signs and pretending to be in red bull crashed ice down the long staircase to get to the base of the falls. While carrying a tripod and camera. I think it was worth it though.

After trying not to die climbing back up said stairs I took a break for a bottle of water and then drove back over to lake street to take a photograph of the new Hi-Lo diner that's about to open in March.

There were a few other places I went last night and many more photos. I think these three sum up the night for me though. I can't wait to get out again soon.
