What do all of these have in common? Milwaukee! Whoda thunk that the home of Harley, Miller and the Brewers would have one of the country's most beautiful art museums? Well, believe it!
I am lucky in that my teen age kids still like to hang out with me, and also like to fly in the the RV. Megan (maker of J-pole antennae) is an art and architecture buff and has long wanted to visit the Milwaukee Art Museum and the Calatrava designed bridge and pavillion. Today was the day. We planned the flight last night and departed KANE early.
Megan was up late at a school function so it was just me and ATC on the way down. Nice tail winds at 7500 feet and a smooth ride. A little over and hour and a half later, we were on the ground at Milwaukee Timmerman. We hopped a bus outside the gate and were at the foot of the bridge 40 minutes and $4 later.
This place is a photographer's dream, lots of interesting angles and interplay of light.
The "wings" of the pavillion are a sunshade for the pavillion, they open and close during the day - very cool. Here they are in the open position.
More in Part II.......
