“Ice Luminaries” on the Northside

Last night my friend and downstairs neighbor Joseph and I visited the inaugural “Northside Luminary Light Up!” at the Old Highland Peace Garden at 18th and Emerson Avenues North in Minneapolis.

It was a one night only event, and my friend Brian (pictured below) who lives on the northside was instrumental in making it a reality. And what a beautiful and magical reality it was!

I should also say that taking in the magical beauty of the many ice luminaries last night was just what I needed to revive my spirits after the first week of the second Trump presidency and all it’s ushering in. Perhaps you feel the same way about what’s unfolding in the U.S. If so, I hope my photos from last night will, well, light up and lift your spirits as they did mine.
