C is for The Calling

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

 There is a statue in Milwaukee right near the Art Museum called The Calling. If you've been following my blog for a while, you've seen it pop up from time to time. As you can imagine, it's a love-hate thing for most people in Milwaukee. I'm not much of a modern art fan, but I actually love The Calling. You can read more about it over here.

I've seen a couple great photos of The Calling on Instagram lately. You can find them at the end of this post after my own photos of the statue. Enjoy.

  8. My favorite is the Easter 2014 top photo -- the orange really pops against the grey buildings, and the industrial against the old, very cool.

  11. I was wondering about the name, so I went over to your link. Too bad about the depot; it's a beautiful spot, right on the shore. Love your new banner! {:-D

  12. With all the controversy I guess it brings attention to the museum.

  13. That orange is really sublime, isn't it?

    The more I looked at this sculpture the more I liked it!
