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

Lakeshore State Park
Checking out Lakeshore State Park during a lovely cloudy June day.
I’m impressed this little boat is able to pirate the large pirate ship. Y’arggghhhh.
The orange statue gets a lot of hate for “being in the way” of the art museum, but I still like it. (Milwaukee Art Museum is just behind me in this photo.)
I was going to steal these bench drumstricks, but whoever installed them must’ve known this.
Me walking back to the camera at the end of the timelapse (start of video). I wedged the lens cap under the front of the battery grip and the camera’s strap precariously under the back of it to “perfectly” work as my makeshift tripod.
You can actually turn these kinetic sculptures. There’s a wheel at the base.
Two seasons in Wisconsin: Winter and Construction. It’s no longer winter.

AVP Milwaukee
Milwaukee really comes alive in the summer. Below are photos taken when the AVP (domestic pro beach volleyball tour) stopped at Bradford Beach in Milwaukee July 4 weekend. With John Hyden/Tri Bourne and Kerri Walsh Jennings/April Ross being the champions. See all the photos here.
