After more than a year of Covid concerns, my wife's medical problems, and
two house projects (new roof and basement waterproofing), I'm getting
back to my archive (at least what I have available at home).  Here are four
early pictures that I like.

There used to be scrap yards along the south portion of Milwaukee harbor,
before revitalization and beautification.  I found this locomotive cab
dusted with
snow in January 1968.

The journalism building on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus was
demolished for a power plant driveway, but not before it sported protest
signs
put up by the students.  As fate would have it, I never took a class in
there (or any journalism courses), being an Art History major; and with the
student newspaper
housed in a former frat house off campus, I entered only once, to
photograph a professor (Jay Sykes - the father of television commentator
Charlie Sykes).

I found this chair facing a wall of gauges amusing.

All can be viewed large.
