Default Minneopa State Park in the Summer

Seems like it has been a long time since my last post. Took these shots last week over lunch break at Minneopa State Park in Mankato, MN. Really low on rain lately so the creek was much lower and let me get out and sit on the stone in the middle of the creek to get some interesting views. Hope you all enjoy at least one of them.

Well done, Dale. A beautiful place, low water notwithstanding. I like the architecture and setting of the bridge.

I agree that the bridge really fits well in that location. Unfortunately that bridge is scheduled to be replaced later this year. Going to miss it.

Wow..beautiful setting. What a fantastic bridge, it really fits in with the surroundings. And it's going to be replaced? Why do we do things like that?
