The Milwaukee School of Engineering logo, created by Brooks Stevens (the industrial designer famous for the Jeep Wagoneer and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, among other things), as reflected in the windows of the old German-English Academy Building last night when … Continue reading →

“Slice of Ice” almost ready!

Posted on December 14, 2017 by Katherine Wikoff

County parks workers began putting down the water earlier this week, and today I saw the Zamboni smoothing over the snow we got yesterday. I’m at Starbucks (of course😄), which is apparently the only Starbucks in the U.S. and probably … Continue reading →

Tree Climbing

Posted on November 8, 2017 by Katherine Wikoff

Just a shadow that caught my eye around noon today. I like how the tree seems to be growing out of the doorway and spreading up the wall. I’ve seen whimsical fairy/gnome doorways in trees before . . . But this … Continue reading →

Pedestrian Sidewalk Canopy

Posted on October 16, 2017 by Katherine Wikoff

Looks like they’re getting ready to do some repair work on the German-English Academy Building. I was struck this afternoon by the crisscrossed geometry of shadow and scaffolding (hence the pic 🙂 )
