MN trip 5: Minnehaha Falls

[tigertoy]

It's got to be one of the most photographed waterfalls in the world, since it's right in the middle of a major US city and you can park a few hundred feet away from it.  But it's still a lovely falls, so of course I took a bunch of pictures myself -- a few of the cliche shots everyone takes, and a few more unusual ones that are hopefully interesting too.

Side View                 The view from street level on the north side.

Looking down the top                 Standing on the bridge above the falls, a closeup of the very top of the falls.

Foaming water                 I liked this view of nothing but the frothy water.
