Rear View


This photo was taken from a parking ramp on the other side of Hwy 35E  in the area of many  health care buildings on Smith Avenue in St. Paul.  It shows the back view of the houses on Summit Avenue.  Just below the larger homes is a small, tucked-away-almost-hidden street with much smaller houses, which cannot be seen from Summit.  This view shows a very different perspective than driving or walking down the celebrated and historic avenue when facing the beautiful facades. (Note the colors: pretty bleak winter browns!)

Tomorrow is the big day for the February 1st Theme Day for CDP bloggers: If you had to leave forever the city from which you usually post, what would you miss most?
