I roamed around downtown Milwaukee this morning...it's my first visit to the city.  The 1895 city hall is classic ornate Victorian architecture.  The newer building to the left seems to have been built to mesh with the older structure...a nice touch.

The Milwaukee Art Museum is a stunning structure on the shore of Lake Michigan.  It was built, I believe, by the same architect who designed the Sundial bridge in Redding CA.

The inside of the art museum is no less amazing than the exterior.

A lakefront shot of some of the downtown skyline.  The art museum on the left, and the US Bank building to the right of it, appear to also have been designed in harmony with each other.

Trompe l'oeil at its best!  This side of a  building has no windows, no reflection, no indentations in the brickwork...really!

An alternative look at the interior of Miller Park, approaching from beyond center field.

This shot is a little grainy, but I had to take it.  Looked behind me, and there, in the flesh, was the Ueck!!  Looking good despite recent health problems...hope he continues to roll.  Bob Uecker is legendary, and for good reason.  How many people can be a major league baseball player, a Hall of Fame broadcaster, a good actor, and a standup comedian??  That's the Ueck! 

And of course, a Brewer game wouldn't be a Brewer game without the sausage race!  The Bratwurst, in yellow on the right, won today.

The Brewers, alas, did not.  The primary agent of their 8-4 demise was Albert Pujols, who went 4 for 4 with two homers, one an opposite field grand slam.  Here, Kameron Loe of the Brewers is "holding" Pujols to a single.  Blow up the pic to see the ball flying off his bat.  Recently I did an analysis and found I had seen in person just over half of the players who have hit 500 major league home runs.  I hadn't seen Pujols live before, and he will most likely go over 500 in 2013.
