Corridors: Form follows function

“It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.” – Louis Sullivan

Water’s rising

Most days I enjoy casting my gaze on the Milwaukee River;
usually after a decent workout and a bit of Yoga
at my local YMCA; where the lower parking lot
sits a dozen feet from that very powerful river.
Last Friday not so much…

Today they’re predicting all time high water levels — as the river flows through downtown Cedarburg and Thiensville.

Friday: Fading Flowers

The rather spectacular flower arrangement arrived. We enjoyed it’s lively beauty for weeks.
Though I did not photograph it until the end of its life – its story now complete… soon to be forgotten.
