This boat, not going anywhere. Hasn’t gone from there for couple of years. The cradle is even bolted to the building. At this point, I would say it is an extension of the building. Perhaps they are planning on sailing their ship away a la Monty Python.

Damn you Facebook. Sometimes you just soak up my attention. With rarely a lasting reward, you are a pox upon this earth. A little harsh, I know. But that’s what makes hyperbole wrong.

How dare they ruin the wonderful graffiti by breaking the window it was painted on. Isn’t there any honor among vandals anymore?

Seriously, who would by popcorn from this van? It is a janky spray painted mess that screams “I will take your child”. Then to find it in a back alley.

I think urban vinyl is pretty wicked. It is most certainly on the list of things I would waste excessive amounts of money on, if I were an excessive amount of money waster.

So, the Mitchel Building is probably the most interesting thing I see on my way home. At least the most interesting thing I’m guaranteed to see.
Huh, up until now I didn’t noticed the building was adorned with the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz.
Rich men and politics. Its no wonder his son became a general.
Enjoy,

I’m pretty happy with this shot. Great leading lines, perfect clouds, wonderful blue sky. If it wasn’t for the pee stain of a snow melt on the bridge, I’d give it an A+.

Duckies who like to swim away from me. The local, no longer migrating ducks known as mallards, let me get plenty close. These guys, an hour of sitting in the cold and this was the closest I got. Don’t get me wrong, sitting by the lake watching ducks swim wasn’t punishment. It’s just, I wanted a cool close up picture. Well, I’ll always remember my frozen butt.
Enjoy,

A mighty find park overlooking the city and the lake. I find it to be a rather brilliant way to continue the bike paths, a little circuitous, but enjoyable.
And, to my surprise, a great place to ice fish. My brother informs me the whole surface heaves up and down as you fish. A scary event I am happy to avoid.
Enjoy,
Jon
Actually the first shot of the year, and a happy new year it has been. Shooting even on the cold days playing photographer has yielded results. I've also begun post processing almost every shot. A combination of a new camera, and a more thoughtful outlook on pictures. It is time to go from "snapshot artist" to artist. We'll see.
Boy howdy does it get cold.
Ya think
So cold. So f’n cold. And I almost got splashed by that water. I feared it. I feared the freazing cold, and so should you. Brrr.

I have attempted many shots of this here derelict bridge. This is the only one I like. Still don’t love, but I’m getting closer.

A very similar picture is hanging at the Starbucks in the 3rd Ward. Mine’s better. Niagh.

I like our river front. I think it has such great potential. One day, there will be boats of drunk young professionals idling up and down on bar crawls with boats. What a dream, what a dream.

Little men, doing big work.
The Grohmann Museum was a surprising delight. I wonder how many other diamonds in the rough Milwaukee has to offer.
Awesome mustache.
Overlooking the mills.
Even the old ladies get into it. Or is that a man.
Hot tiring work. Brings some love for the cube.
Overlooking and working. Double duty.

Milwaukee’s Historical Society once had a a false grey ceiling. Fortunately, its now a grand ceiling.
It is absolutely tremendous.
Really, you need to go. NOW! And donate, they need it.

Subway Café. Have you ever seen one of these, it was once an independent coffee shop, now its this abomination. I actually don’t know if its that bad. But, I can tell you there is two other Subway locations within a two block radius from here.

ICE!
Ice mugs to boot.
Brrrrr….. It was genuinely cold. My lord. And ice seats. Do you know how cold ice seats are on your undercarriage? No. Good.
