I live in the middle of St. Paul/Minneapolis and am always looking for places to get good sunset photos. Often, I don't have much of time to get anywhere, so when I discovered Witches Hat Water Tower (located about three miles from my home) I was excited. Witch's Hat Water Tower, is a historic water tower located in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was built in 1913 in Tower Hill Park; a hilltop park established in 1906. The water tower has become the neighborhood's architectural mascot for its unique design by Frederick William Cappelen and is rumored to be the inspiration for Bob Dylan's song "All Along the Watchtower," as the tower was clearly visible from Dylan's home in nearby Dinkytown in Minneapolis. It was built on one of the highest points in Minneapolis so as to increase water pressure in the area. In 1952 the tower ceased to function as a water tower, but it remains an iconic neighborhood symbol.
I have found locations on all sides of the tower that I like to go to to catch sunset photos This photo was taken on the Minneapolis side, with the setting sun actually behind me.
