It was great to be back in the Mid-West in arguably the very best time of year. The rain was sparse and the friends were in-town, weary of another weekend bender at the lakes. Photo by Pete Nielson, courtesy of Cypher Gallery of Fargo, ND (cyphergallery.com)

It made for a great picnic and a great week. Fargo will let you get away with just about anything, so long as you’re not out to harm others.

My last hours were spent climbing buildings and spying on the sparse downtown traffic from a perch overlooking Broadway. I felt like a spy… with no important mission but to enjoy the city.
