Winona from the Bluffs

These photos were taken from the top of the bluffs which run alongside our town. I tried to shoot some sort of panarama so those of you who have not been to visit us yet can get some sense of the town.
Winona has many nicknames, one is the "Island City" and from this vantage point you can see why. Technically, the lakes which are on the south side of the city (bottom of the photos), used to be part of the Mississippi River. The city closed off the channel and created two lovely lakes which residents walk, jog, and cycle around.


As I took these photos, the weather was breezy but warm. Who would know that the temps would soon drop and we would have tons of snow dumped upon us.
