The Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis soon will be sprinkled with an illuminating display of 25 larger-than-life adventure sports photography cubes.

The 8-foot-tall glass and metal cubes will be on exhibit over the Mississippi River from July 10-20 and be lit from dusk to midnight.

The Red Bull Illume Exhibit Tour is described by its sponsor as "the most dramatic compilation of action and adventure sports imagery ever assembled."

The exhibit has traveled to many U.S. cities on this tour, including Atlanta, suburban Los Angeles and Portland, Ore. It will head overseas next year.

The mirrored cubes also will offer reflective views of the Minneapolis' downtown surroundings.
