I found myself standing there with my camera wondering, “How often do we actually get to see the extraordinary?” It was a perfect moment to savor the super moon rising over Minneapolis. Downtown Minneapolis on these nights was bathed in moonlight, and the Eleven Tower stood tall and gleaming in the sky. The soft glow of the Mill District and the river shimmered with every movement of the water.
I leaned in, framing the shot from a railing, and then carefully readjusted the angle. The moon even looked pretty surreal, with its silvery glow so close that you could reach out and touch it. The scene was calm, yet exceptionally vibrant as only a Minneapolis night around downtown can be.
The view pulled me in further, stretching out to downtown Minneapolis. The super moon made everything below feel connected, even in stillness, and the buildings glowed like guardians. The water reflected the moon, as if two lights spoke to one another across the ripples.
I stood there, captured that moment, and felt the city’s heartbeat. Under the moon’s gaze, the bridges, the lights, and the flow of the river had met to tell a story. It wasn’t just about taking a picture. It was about experiencing a rare view where nature and city life combined seamlessly in the heart of downtown Minneapolis.
I clicked the shutter, and I knew I was freezing more than just a night, I was also capturing that feeling. A super moon rising over downtown East lights the entire city up like a welcome moment, making you wonder how often you pass by the beauty without stopping and just looking up.
