Reed Street Yards

Looking across the Menomonee River from Reed Street Yards. This view visually sums up Milwaukee pretty well.

Bay View Bash

Went to the Bay View Bash last weekend with some friends. It’s a crazy popular street fest on the Southside of Milwaukee.

DJ playing on the North entrance.

Fail Better at Bay View Bash

While in-line to buy beer tickets, my very intelligent friend trying to sneakily take a picture while my camera was slung on my shoulder. He didn’t turn the auto-focus on.

Looking down Kinnickinnic Avenue… what a crowd!

Timelapses – Hidden Harvest Moon

Clolorful clouds blocked the sky in nearly all directions on the evening of the harvest moon. Check out timelapses and stills from it.

I give it at least a 10% chance there is a couple making out behind the lighthouse.
Twilight at Pierhead Lighthouse

I was at the other end of the park (without a camera) pouting about not seeing the moon when the clouds light up a bright reddish color. This was the very end of it.
Colorful Sky Over Pierhead Lighthouse

A party boat made these ripples. I thought for sure they were going to boat over and heckle me, so I put on my invisibility-cape.

Hot Summer Night – Photographs

On a hot summer night this Sunday, I visited beautiful Grant Park for the first time in years. Photos are from Grant Park’s Seven Bridges, hidden beach, golf course, and more. Don’t leave summer!

Scared all the Sunday golfers away for a moment…

Crossing… Lake Michigan in the background with a stream running into the park in the foreground.
