Milwaukee, WI: View of the Quadracci Pavillion of the Milwaukee Art Museum from along the lakefront. The pavillion was designed by Santiago Calatrava and felt straight out of Logans Run or something.

Photo: Hey... are you going to eat that????
Like the Best: - Diesel's expression, the water in the background, the soft slanting light on the salmon, and how the design on the plate matches the tablecloth. You can also see the sun setting on the edge of the plate.
Most of all, totally spontaneous.
Camera: - Sony Ericcson K750i
Like the Least: .- I wish the photo had better resolution. Much of the detail of the water at the top of the photo is lost.

Like the Best: That I captured the apex moment of the morning with low tide and awesome clouds. It was also awesome to spend the night camping alone on this beach.

Like the Least: The fact that the cheap GND filters added a bit more red to the sky that I wanted.
***************************************************
Early Morning with soft light hitting some of the sea stacks at Second Beach. Truly one of the most amazing mornings I have witnessed. It was so beautiful that my brain is still buzzing from the sights, sounds and smells.
This was taken when there was a negative low tide.... the starfish are waiting for the water to come back......

can we break for lunch?
it doesn't take long before the elder sister fully immerses herself into the game, and this is one of few smiles i managed to get on camera after prolonged observation.
soon, its time for lunch, and fun time is over.
but as you can see, everyone has a hard time letting go of "fun time".
hehe, kids!
