Day 197 Yerkes at Sunset
Saturday, July 14 – What a place Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay is! The grandkids loved it there and can hardly wait to go back. Nice thing is, it is only a few blocks from their house. I shot this one on our way back from the boat ride on Lake Geneva. Albert Einstein loved this place and I certainly can see why. The whole floor is an elevator that takes you up to the largest refracting telescope in the world and was built in 1897. It was one of two places that Einstein wanted to visit in the United States; the other being Niagara Falls.
Neat!

Nice color and silhouette, too!
