Columbia Heights Mn, in southern Anoka County just north of Minneapolis, has this beautiful new station opened in 2009 I believe. it is a Joint Police and Fire Station. Houseing 2 Engines, 1 Aerial, 3 Rescues, 1 Staff, Antique and a Boat. These photos were shot while i was photographing an Explorer event. they were taken around 0500, and the weather looked like this all day worse at times.

The Columbia Heights station is beautiful. Also, nice work with the early morning, overcast light. The second image is quite striking.
