End of sunrise at the Milwaukee Art Museum by Jeff Barry Via Flickr: I have a photo very similar to this taken five minutes before. The light in that photo takes on a more pink-ish hue rather than the oranges and yellows here. Anyway, blessed with great light and great clouds this morning, for sure.

The Dam was now the edge of the world for inhabitants of The Vathys Valley. Once an opening to a lush marshland that stretched from the foothills to the edge of the delta, the dam rose in the west pass seemingly overnight. Not one Valley Dweller could recall a single hammer being swung or shovelful heaved, but the dam stood nonetheless, allowing just enough water to trickle through for the Valley Dwellers needs. Apart of being an impenetrable barrier, it simply didn't impede much on everyday life... The first day after the dam appeared was near chaos, but with each passing hour it seemed less and less like whoever built the dam was even concerned with their existence, let alone interested in oppressing them. It wasn't necessarily comforting, but it seemed more like a human happened to set a rock near an anthill rather than purposefully covering it with poison. While a wary pall has been cast by its shadow, the people of the Vathys Valley have generally kept life moving as normal. An expedition to the top of the dam will be sent out eventually, but without further disruption community leaders are somewhat reluctant toward anything that might antagonize the builders.

Aside from a concrete garage and elevator shafts, Ascent Milwaukee is a 25 story-tall building constructed almost entirely from wood, making it the tallest mass timber building in the world. It might not hold this title for long though because wooden skyscrapers are rapidly growing in popularity due to a host of benefits including sustainability. But how are wooden skyscrapers possible? And isn’t it a little foolish to make a timber tower when a little thing called “fire” exists?

The Last Ground Tower.

The last ground tower and column barn stood in the foothills just a mile or so from the beginning of the West Pass, meant to be the highest viewpoint outside of the mountains themselves. For 75 years it stood as a lookout for the Grand Mountain Guard in expectation of eventual military action from the plains, but in practicality, with the abolishment of the Organized Plainsman just a decade after its construction, it largely operated as a lighthouse of sorts, guiding the way for travelers returning from the mountains and providing shelter from the rough mountain conditions. When The Great Foothill Fall occurred, the majority of ground structures in the region were destroyed with the tower barely escaping major damage. Despite this, increased tectonic instability drove The Guard deeper into the mountains, requiring higher and higher lookouts, leaving the ground tower essentially obsolete and unused. Over the years it has become a popular stop for those adventurous enough to brave the foothills, with a few shops and even a bar established in its lower floors. Lodging can be found throughout the complex, though officially any inhabitants or businesses are in violation of the "Foothill Abandonment Act" and the structural safety of the tower and column barn are unknown at this time.
