  What follows is a set of photographs of my hometown, Winona, Minnesota. They were taken from an overlook during the winter.
The first picture shows the East side of town. urlLink &nbsp; urlLink The second picture is a slight shift to the west and shows much of the East lake. urlLink &nbsp; urlLink The third is another move to the west and shows how the East and West lakes come together at Huff Street.
If you look toward the top of the photograph, you will see another body of water in the distance - that is the Mississippi River, and beyond it, Wisconsin. urlLink &nbsp; urlLink The fourth picture is further to the west. From this view you might see, comparatively, that most of the "older" part of town is to the east and that the newer growth has come in the west.
Winona is locked between the Wisconsin bluffs (and the river! ) to the north and the Minnesota bluffs to the south (from which the photographs were taken), so there isn't much room for expansion in those directions. Oh, I forgot to mention one thing: the Mississippi River flows from west to east past Winona. If that's confusing, look at a urlLink Minnesota map and it'll make sense. urlLink &nbsp; urlLink The final photo is back to the east again, giving a more clear view of what's past the city in that direction.
