This venue is on the hillside of the former Milwaukee reservoir, which is the highest point in town. The Milwaukee River is between the condominiums below this park and the other bank leading to the downtown skyline in the distance (looking southwest). As recently as 2000, the street below was an industrial area with railroad tracks and vacant factories. The theater company didn't want any pictures taken of the performance, and I was interested in the ambiance anyway, so that's why the stage is barely visible. Showing much of the hillside: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/20130713_MR_Mine_LMX1010626.jpg.html> It's hard not to notice the woman in red here, and if you enlarge, look at the guy beyond her knee, with his eye right in the triangle of the lawn chair: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/20130713_MR_Mine_30D1925.jpg.html> Further in the twilight: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/20130713_MR_Mine_LMX1010641.jpg.html> Almost dark: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/20130713_MR_Mine_30D1945.jpg.html> They're not great, but they can be viewed large.
