Mitchell Domes in Milwaukee has long been on my “to visit” list. I finally visited this October. This is a quick photo essay of that morning.
My intention was mainly to photograph the architectural arches of the entrance building. I’m sure inside the biodomes is fascinating, but on this trip I decided not to venture inside. It happened to be a very architecture-heavy few days, so I kept it that way.
The Mitchell Domes were built from 1959 to 1967. Architect Donald L. Grieb won a competition for a new design for the conservatory that was previously here.
I'm always inspired by the way you photograph architecture, Lauri! Your images make the place look like from another planet, not something I'd find here on Earth :)
