This is the counterpoint to "Spread Your Wings and Fly". The Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum with the wings down, to resemble a bird at rest. I took it slightly off center because I liked the way the sun hit it at this angle...ah, that sun looks so inviting, hard to believe the wind chill was -26 when I snapped this one!

The architectural design of the Milwaukee Art Museum is incredible, an exhibit unto itself. Gorgeous capture. You deserve a medal for being out in -26º weather.

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a new world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all western stars, Until I die. Tennyson, "Ulysses"

Excellent Rich. Both photos of this are really good. I think the lighting and angle are both exceptional. Cows shouldn't bother this one. Good post.

Beautiful architecture ~ the clarity is fantastic. The windchill in MN was -40 last night ~ Brrrrrrr ~ so I know how you felt when you captured this. Very nicely presented.

Thanks for bringing both biews. That is quite a huge piece of art work. A very interesting design. Bravo for facing such brutal temps to take this shot. Your shivering didn't cause any blur at all. lol

I really don't think I would have been able to get out of my warm car to take a shot on such a cold day, but I'm glad you did it anyway, I love the lines of this place..just outstanding. And I like how you captured it too. I do kinda wish you had been able to get the tippy top of that pole too, but its still gorgeous. Love those colours..Verena

Life is like a grindstone.Whether it grinds us down or polishes us up depends on us.

This is a very nice compliment to the other shot! Glad you shared them both.
