Post-restoration photo

Resolved

It would be neat to get a photo of the statue after its 2018 restoration. The statue is no longer green, it is now dark bronze in press photos. I'd do it, but I have no plans to be in Milwaukee. - Kzirkel (talk) 16:09, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kzirkel, Recent images have been uploaded. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:21, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another Believer Ah, thanks for thinking of me ... it was, in fact, me who uploaded the new images. When I wrote the above post, I did not expect to return to Milwaukee, and of course when I found myself there, re-photographing the statue was high on my list of priorities. -- Kzirkel (talk) 03:31, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kzirkel, Ah!, sorry, I did not notice they were your uploads. I'll go ahead and remove the photo tag above. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:32, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
