Misty Lake Michigan and S/V Denis Sullivan

Posted on July 11, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

Although Lake Michigan in this photo looks similar to a photo in a post about two months ago, the two days couldn’t have been more different. Whereas that photo (below) was snapped on a cool, blustery day (complete with a cargo ship … Continue reading →

Two Steeples

Posted on June 29, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

Found this photo just now while cleaning out the “Camera Roll” in my iPhone. I don’t remember taking this picture and have no idea why I did. But I like it, so thought I’d share it with you 😄

Update on that ship in my last post

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

After I put up my Saturday photo of Lake Michigan, my friend Jo, who lives on the lakefront downtown, told me that ship in the picture had been anchored there all week. Apparently the ship has been the topic of much conversation the past several … Continue reading →

Lake Michigan, on a blustery end-of-May day

Posted on May 30, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

I had lunch today with my writing group at one member’s residence on Prospect Avenue overlooking Lake Michigan. In January I took a photo from the bluff, braving bitterly cold wind without gloves for the few seconds it took to snap … Continue reading →

Sixth Street Viaduct

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

I took this photo of the Sixth Street Viaduct over Milwaukee’s Menomonee Valley while waiting to cross the street after dropping my younger daughter off at the train station this morning.  She caught the 8:05 Amtrak Hiawatha for a field trip with her art history classmates … Continue reading →

Val. Blatz Brewing Company – 1901 / 1946 / 2015

Posted on May 7, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

It was the lines that got me.  I’ve passed this way so many times, but for some reason the strongly oppositional vertical and horizontal lines had never presented themselves so starkly before.  So I had to get out my phone … Continue reading →

Milwaukee Grayscale

Posted on May 6, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

I noticed this bird atop a light pole as I left campus tonight. Downtown Milwaukee has been partially shrouded by mist/fog today, most likely caused by the difference between air and Lake Michigan temperatures.  Away from the lake it was warm and sunny. Below … Continue reading →

Posted on May 2, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

Trees are sprouting leaves and it feels like spring is finally here!  Took this photo on MSOE’s campus in downtown Milwaukee as I walked from one meeting to another yesterday around noon.

A Slice of Milwaukee’s City Hall

Posted on April 22, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

Took this photo this morning just because I found the view of City Hall from this perspective kind of arresting. After I took the picture, I noticed that the flag is at half mast today and wondered why.  Not that terrible … Continue reading →

Milwaukee City Hall – Morning Reflection

Posted on March 27, 2015 by Katherine Wikoff

Taken with my iPhone about 8:15 a.m. at the corner of Broadway and State, from inside a vestigial entryway of the old Blatz Brewing Bottle House (now MSOE’s Campus Center) so I could avoid lens flare in a spot sheltered from … Continue reading →
