This is a photo of a few people fishing off one of the docks at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis that I did not publish in my personal blog today, along with the others. Somehow I overlooked this from the others, but the serenity of it struck me when I shot it. There are a lot of fish in Lake Nokomis, many more varieties than I used to catch 50 years ago. Although, I don't know if one would want to eat them today due to high mercury levels.
When I was growing up in Minneapolis, we did not have air conditioning. Most people didn't. Unlike Sacramento, when it gets hot during the day in Minneapolis, it can stay hot all night. Hot and humid. In Sacramento, we enjoy delta breezes that come through in early evening to cool things down. Not in Minneapolis. Which meant when it was too hot to sleep, my parents used to take us down to the lake for a dip before bedtime. Not sure I'd swim in this lake today.
Plus, there's the fact that every so often, they find a body in the lake. You can read more about my adventures on my last day in Minneapolis in my personal blog today at this link: An Afternoon at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis.
