Staircase
Descent to Vertigo
Going down! These steps are part of the arduous 303 step stairway to a scenic view at Roche-A-Cri State Park near Friendship, Wisconsin. It’s quite a climb to the top but worth the view and a welcome place to rest before beginning the descent.
I took a few photos of the stairway and thought this one was most interesting because of the turns and the angle of the shot. This was shot with a wide-angle lens (12mm). I processed this photo in both color and monochrome and asked my wife to pick the one she preferred. She liked the B&W best. So here it is.

Take The Stairs
This is an old, metal stairway brightened by a light from above. The angles, the distressed ceiling and walls plus the light coming from the second floor as well as a small window just to the left give this image a lot of character.
I debated with myself for some time over whether to present this as you see here, in color, or to make it monochrome. I like both versions, but decided on the color version. I will likely share the B&W version at a future date.

Lighting of the Whale
Another holiday tradition has been established. On Black Friday, the Milwaukee Public Museum flips the switch on more than 4,200 lights that decorate a 36 foot long humpback whale skeleton.
The skeleton is a permanent display that hangs from the ceiling over the museum’s grand staircase.
