Touring Milwaukee Yesterday

This pictures was taken over the lake towards the city looking inland. The bridge you see in the picture is called the Hoan bridge. Right below that brige is where Summerfest takes place every summer.

Yesterday I took a tour of downtown Milwaukee with a friend of mine to take pictures of various places. I ended up taking around 200 pictures. There are many nice things to see in Milwaukee.

This picture was taken at the War Memorial along the lake front (lake michigan).
