Strange weather in Milwaukee today. We began with drizzle in the early morning, like 5:00 AM, which then turned into a thick fog for the drive downtown. I was working in my office all day, and by mid-day everything outside my window looked sunny. But when I left work close to 5 PM, I could see that there was lots of fog in the direction of the lake, while everything else seemed bright and sunny and clear. Then I noticed that some of the lake fog had drifted inland several blocks, an infrequent but not uncommon phenomenon in Milwaukee. Luckily I caught a little break in traffic and managed to grab this photo as I was about to turn north on Water Street coming out of MSOE.

I put the big picture in for context. But here’s a closeup of the disappearing office tower.

It’s so strange to be up inside a high-rise office on a day like this—or especially when there’s even thicker fog, and you’re looking out of a huge plate-glass window into gray nothingness. I don’t like it, personally. Even though it’s interesting visually, it’s a really claustrophobic  feeling, like the atmosphere is pressing in on you.

Fortunately, for me, I work on the second floor of a low-rise building!😀
