McKinley Marina

Wikipedia defines serendipity as “the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.”

Such was my experience when I went to Milwaukee’s lakefront to take pictures of the circus wagons that had been assembled for the Great Circus Parade.

I was forced by a diligent park worker to park at a distance from where the wagons were located, and I ended up parking by McKinley Marina, located right on Lake Michigan just north of Veteran’s Park. Since the sun was just rising, I notice some unique photo opportunities – first of the boats moored at the marina, and then of the reflection of the city skyline in the pond at Veteran’s Park.

Here are some of the photos I took.

    great call on the pics of the marina. I am never up that early except when I have to be for work so I never see that sunrise look.

    The last picture with the boat masts in the distance is great.
