Larger Than Life
The 125’ high windmill dominates the town of Little Chute, WI. Designed and built in the Nethrlands, it was disassembled, shipped to Little Chute, and reassembled on the downtown main street’s Windmill Plaza.
Take Another Look

Meet Me At The Corner
. . . of 2nd St. and Boulevard in Montgomery, MN, where the old Chief Beer Brewery is being renovated.
Three Flights Up

Reason to Believe
Visitors from all over the world come seeking healing, prayer, meditation or refuge.
Fifth Dimension
For most religions, the Fifth Dimension is the highest realm a Soul can reach. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_dimensionshyperdimensions02.htm
Appropriately, the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary is located on a hill 1350 ft. above sea level, high enough to view from its tower the Milwaukee skyline 30 miles away.
Never Going Back Again
. . . without checking Milwaukee’s events calendar. We were aware of the NCAA tournaments being played, but we never considered they were being held in the Bradley Center when we on a whim decided to visit the city. We got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic next to this decrepit and abandoned brewery in single lane traffic as carloads of fans ahead of us attempted to park on the side or enter full garages. (At least the Badgers won.)
I Saw The Light
Bray’s Point Lighthouse was built in 1909 by WI State Senator Wm. Bray to mark a dangerous reef at the Fox River entrance to Lake Winnebago. In contrast to the Asylum Pt. Lighthouse, it was not only used, but it was also the only government licensed inland lighthouse at one time. It was privately restored and reactivated in 1986. It is privately owned.
Oh My What A Shame
Built by the WPA in 1937, the Asylum Bay Lighthouse is said to have never been lit. It was rejected by the Dept. of Transportation as a navigation light for Lake Winnebago. Located a few miles north of Oshkosh, WI.. it was refurbished in 2007.
Religion
So I say to you, Ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you — Jesus Christ
Endless
The Castle’s enclosed rock steps appeared endless as they disappear into what appears to be an endless spiral.
Tradition
State and national parks traditionally contain open viewing towers made of open wooden stairway tiers which lead to a top viewing platform. This tower at Eagle Point County Park near Clinton, IA was described by a couple of locals as “the castle;” and it obviously does not follow the traditional plan.
Foil
Bonsai trees rooted in a thousand year Japanese tradition present a striking foil to the large contemporary white and glass conservatory exterior.
Patterns
Interconnection, a glass blown piece created on commission by Douglas and Renee Sigwarth, consists of 180 spheres suspended in three 18 ft strings from the ceiling of the building’s glassed in apex.
Vision
Architect Jim Shields envisioned and designed a new wedge shaped Museum of Wisconsin Art to occupy a wedge shaped property located in West Bend, WI. The museum’s vision espouses innovation, technology and social connectivity with focus on the art. The new museum celebrated its grand opening on April 7 of this year.
