Summer Solstice Full Moon


The Summer Solstice brought a full moon this year.
Before shooting the above video I took a couple shots at the end of the year’s longest day.

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.
Pirate Ship!

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.)
MAM Bridge to Burst

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.
Me! at Lakeshore State Park

You can actually turn these kinetic sculptures. There’s a wheel at the base.
