Madison, Wisconsin

I am visiting my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin, Madison, for the first time in almost 40 years. The University is on an isthmus between two Lakes--Lake Mendota and Lake Minona. The Wisconsin Capitol Building is located at one end of State Street and the University at the other end. State Street has been converted into a pedestrian and transit mall. The University has built many new buildings in the last 40 year, yet Madison retains an almost small town feel despite the additional construction. The Student Union is located on the shores of Lake Mendota. The view from the terrace of the Student Union is shown above
