Another great white trillium with a nice backdrop. Should have moved that stick, but the light was too fleeting to waste time with.

There's a fairly extensive history on the theater's website, but the short version is that the 1906 building took on its current appearance in 1969 when it became the Esquire Theater. It became the Bartell Theatre in the mid-90s.

Yesterday Lori and I took a drive north of Two Rivers, Wisconsin to check out foliage and hike the hills and swales. It was a perfect Fall outing.
Last Thursday afternoon was cold but sunny, so I decided to visit the lakefront. Recent winds and frigid temperatures created interesting patterns on the shore. Photos in this trio were taken near Sheboygan, Wisconsin's North Point along the western shore of Lake Michigan.
Built in 1892-1894, this Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by Allan Conover and Lew Porter to serve as an armory and gymnasium for the University of Wisconsin. The building is clad in red brick with a red medina sandstone base, arched bays, cylindrical towers with crenellated parapets, stepped gables, brick corbeling, and clerestory windows on the side of the building’s gabled roof. The building is a contributing structure in the Bascom Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and was listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993. The building today houses various university departments.

Built in phases between 1911 and 1959, this Prairie and Organic Modern-style house and office were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as his family residence and studio, with two fires leading to substantial reconstruction of the house in 1914 and 1925. The house, which is named “Taliesin”, Welsh for “Shining Brow” or “Radiant Brow”, referring to the hill upon which it is situated, is a long and rambling structure with multiple sections built at different times, with the building serving as a living laboratory for Wright’s organic design philosophy, as well as growing with Wright’s family, wealth, and business. The house sits on a hill surrounded by fields, but is notably located below the top of the hill, which Wright saw as being such a significant feature of the landscape that it should remain untouched by the house’s presence. The house’s westernmost wings served as the home of livestock and farm equipment, as well as a garage, later becoming housing for the Taliesin Fellowship, where aspiring architects apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright. The central wing served as the Frank Lloyd Wright studio, where Wright and his apprentices and employees worked on projects for clients, as well as where Wright often met with clients. The eastern wing served as the Wright family’s residence, and was rebuilt twice, in 1914 and 1925, after being destroyed by fire, and is overall the newest section of the complex, though some portions of the west and central wings were added after the main phase of construction of the residence was complete.
The house is clad in stucco with a wooden shingle hipped and gabled roof, with stone cladding at the base and on piers that often flank window openings, large casement windows, clerestory windows, outdoor terraces and balconies, stone chimneys, and glass french doors, all of which connect the interior of the building to the surrounding landscape. The interior of the buildings feature vaulted ceilings in common areas, stone floors, stone and plaster walls, decorative woodwork, custom-built furniture, and multiple decorative objects collected by Wright during his life. The exterior of the house has a few areas distinctive from the rest of the structure, with a cantilevered balcony extending off the east facade drawing the eye towards the surrounding landscape from the living room of the residence, next to a large set of glass doors that enclose the living room and adjacent bedroom from a shallower cantilevered terrace, while to the west of the residence, and south of the central wing, is a landscaped garden, which rests just below the crest of the hill.
The building was the full-time home of Wright from 1911 until 1937, when Wright began to spend his winters at Taliesin West in Phoenix, Arizona, due to the effects of the Wisconsin winters on his health. For the rest of Wright’s life, the house was the summer home of Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship, and following his death, the house was deeded to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which operated and maintained the house as a museum and the home of multiple programs until 1990. Since 1990, the house has been under the stewardship of the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Inc., which operates the house in conjunction with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The building is a contributing structure in the Taliesin Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Taliesin was one of eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings listed as The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. Today, Taliesin is utilized as a museum, offering tours and interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and work.
Friday we visited the Sheboygan Marsh. I climbed the observation tower with its 144 steps to view the panorama.

This was taken a number of years back when we still lived in Wisconsin. I was just getting started with photography and loved capturing barns and farms when I could. I believe this one was located not too far from Fox Lake, Wisconsin...and as usual, it was an overcast day! Hope you enjoy!

Many of the RGBs were down on floating reeds and stems from last year's growth. I took the opportunity to photograph this one in an opening close to the edge. He gave me a trill.
Petrifying Springs Park Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Southeast Wisconsin hasn't turned red yet, but the colors are still amazing.
I couldn't find my boots so I toughed out the cold Wisconsin water. Within three minutes my feet felt as if pins were hitting them as debris floated by touching my feet. However, I saw what I wanted and kept in the water for about twenty minutes until the lighting was what I wanted and the water was nice and glassy.
