Best of MinnPics - April 2014

from flick user Shawn Christie
While April is typically the dawn of spring in Minnesota, 2014 brought more snow as our extended winter dragged on. This photo, as the photographer explained, shows a CP as well as a DM&E locomotive pulling their load at restricted speeds through the heavy falling snow toward Loretto, MN. Normally I would be drawn to beautiful scenery but sometime the weather itself, no matter how depressing it is to some, makes for a truly striking photo.
