Grohmann Museum Reflection on a Drizzly Afternoon

Posted on November 18, 2025 by Katherine Wikoff

Taken this afternoon around 4:00 PM while walking back to my office from class.

Rings from raindrops spreading across the reflection of Milwaukee’s Grohmann Museum on the surface of a puddle

I’ve shot several pictures of the museum via this puddle over the years. See a couple of them HERE if you’re interested.

I like raindrops falling into puddles, especially the way concentric circles ripple outward from each individual splash. Even chilly, wet November afternoons can hold pleasurable suprises if you keep your eyes open.

Tiny gifts just waiting to be opened ❤

    Viewing what your eye captured through the lens is remarkable. When cropped without the cement walk area it gives the look of an impressionist painting with the concentric circles from the raindrops giving it a contemporary feel. Crop it & print it. I could see that for MSOE advertisement or article in a publication.
