Not really much more to say about this post than that. I was driving north on 12th St. past the Aurora Sinai complex just west of downtown Milwaukee this afternoon and noticed these windows with their staircase on view, thanks to the sunny conditions. I wasn’t in a rush to get anywhere, so I pulled over and then walked back to an empty parking lot directly underneath the windows to get the picture. I just really liked the geometry and the interplay of light and shadow. Hope you enjoy it too! 
The colors of autumn. Opposites on a color wheel, and awfully pretty when set together like this.
Just a few photos taken as I was leaving work tonight. All are taken from the same angle and position, looking up and across both street and parking lot from the sidewalk in front of the Campus Center on Broadway. The last two were duds, but I kind of like the abstract appearance, so I’m including them.
So sad, I missed a breathtaking photo this morning, heading east on Kilbourn. It was a foggy morning across southeastern Wisconsin. As I crossed the Milwaukee River, the sun was shining on a couple of buildings, burning through the fog, and it was eerie and beautiful to watch the glowing glass and metal emerge from the mist. But I had to get to class, and there was no place to pull over, and the light was green, so I didn’t even get a break that way and had to drive on through the intersection.
So at least I had time after work to get these photos😀
The view looking west down State Street in Milwaukee’s East Town neighborhood as I walked out the front door of the Grohmann Museum on MSOE’s campus after work tonight.. I was struck by this gorgeous combination of colors—the warm yellow, red, and orange balanced by the cool green, purple, and blue, including the bluish-purple, grayish-yellow of the twilight sky.
Saw these sparkling water droplets strung along the wires as I opened the back door to let our dog outside around 5:45 PM.
Not that she accepted my invitation. It had been drizzling for the past hour. Things were wet out there. She just sat in the kitchen looking back at me.
On the plus side, though, I saw this and grabbed my phone for a quick photo. And then I wrote this little poem to go with it. So all in all, a good day! 🙂 (Although not for our dog, who HATES the rain. And baths. And water anywhere, in fact, except in her bowl.)
October drizzle,
October light—
a string of diamonds
against the night.
