Driving directly east with a touch of north, I'd be in Hastings, where the Mississippi River runs through town.

Did you catch the tower smiling back?
Funny thing, today was a black and white kind of day.
Oddly enough, this water tower sits high up on a hill, and even standing right next to the very base of it you'll enjoy the panoramic views of Minneapolis.

Love the tower..it is intriguing in black and white. The house? SPOOKY!
Beautiful photos!
Wonderful trees! I love these exquisite pictures !! High quality B & N!
Wonderful collection of pictures! I do see the tower smiling back and that house is such a great find. It almost looks haunted!
wonderful black and whites. I could see how that could be a fun place to grow up...or maybe they are renovating it? Still that house and the witches hat tower are wonderful.
You are really good at B&W!

People think I'm nuts - but it's for this reason that I love winter....all those cool tree limbs squiggling every which way!
Good blogging idea, drive approximately 25, 50 etc miles to the north, east, south and west and see where you end up. Noted down!
