Fantasy Land - Federal Building Milwaukee

From a distance I thought it was an old church. Only when I was close enough to read the sign on the door, did I realize that this was the Federal Building. I should have guessed by the suit wearing dark glasses on the sidewalk who didn't take his eyes off me until I crossed the street.

lol.. they can act like it's a crime to shoot a building these days, and depending on who's in town it could be a problem. An example was when we had a "high" (so to speak) ranking office holder in Atlanta during last elections.. a man not knowing, took shots of a hotel where he was staying. Next thing he knew, he was taken into headquarters for questioning. Eventually he was released, but the media played it like a terrorist attack. All the time, cameras are mounted on telephone poles, in offices, gov buildings, stores and even their bathrooms.. but it's getting so anyone on the street with one is suspicious. I've never known anything good to come from massive parinoia! Beautiful structure, glad you shot it without incedent.
