Minnesota Scenes: Your February

Minnesota Scenes: Your February

Minnesota Public Radio News invites you to share your images of Minnesota on Flickr. If you do, we may pick your work to appear on MPR's Minnesota Today, and in a monthly gallery right here. We're looking for general interest photos of all kinds: wildlife, landscapes, festivals, events, rural scenes, urban life, outdoor recreation, sports, lutefisk -- pretty much anything that you think reflects life in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Below you'll find our picks from February (and one or two from earlier that were too good to pass up).

Photos: Video game sharpens Minn. soldiers' skills

The Minnesota National Guard is using simulators to train troops in very real and potentially deadly skills -- from shooting to driving to combat. But some soldiers say the simulator's graphics are weak; they prefer Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
