August 2, 2013 - Advent Lutheran Church

Not that this is an exceptionally beautiful church - the landscaping is due for a lot of tend, loving care - but I thought the colors on the front would be fun to play with when editing the shot.  Advent Lutheran Church, Roseville, Minnesota.

June 22, 2013 - Storm Damage

We've had a very wet spring and summer, leaving the ground very saturated and providing little support for our trees.  Last night we had a very powerful storm come through, pushing trees and, in this case, power poles down all over town.  There were up to 250,000 customers without electricity after the storm.  This was a scene in Roseville, Minnesota.  There are more storms forecasted for tonight.
