General notes on Image 10

• This is the image for February and the immigration reference is to Germany.
• This image is thought to be linked to Verse 8 and the search is currently focused on Milwaukee, WI.

Specific Observations

  Please record your notes about this image in the list below.  Use the letter/number grid to identify the point on the image that you're describing.  To keep things organized, 1) please start each observation with a letter/number combo (in bold), and 2) add new observations in the right place on the list to keep everything alphabetized.

• C7 - The outline of "castle" on the rock is almost a perfect match for the Milwaukee City Hall as seen from the corner of E. State Street and N. Water Street.
• G5 - The flower is a primrose, the birth flower for February.
• H7 - The shape of the millstone (small square in the middle of a circle) is similar to the shape in the flag on Image 6.
• H7/8 - There appears to be a faint image of a cicada nymph beside the millstone (see below).
• I2 - The antique key is similar to the keys in Image 3.  (And a key, of course, is what was actually buried in the casque.)
• I5 - The unusual arrangement of the hair beside the juggler's forehead is almost certainly a visual reference to Laureate (see below).
• J6 - The jewel is an amethyst, the birth stone for February.
• K2 & L3 - The two matching red balls could represent the spherical markers used on some golf courses to represent the tee areas (see below).  They could also be the two large circles visible in the bridge that passes over E. Ravine Road in Lake Park, just north of the Grand Staircase. 
• K4 - The pattern on the juggler's collar matches a kind of brickwork found around the city (see below).
• L6-7 - The pattern in the cloak looks like birch tree trunks, turned sideways. 
• P1/2 - The outline is a visual match for the Lake Michigan shoreline of Wisconsin (see below). 

Other Notes:

• The millstone, the cane, and the key may form a rebus that we are meant to put together: mill + walk + key = Milwaukee.
• Based solely on Image 10, the most logical search locations would be Pere Marquette Park and Juneau Park.  However, the specificity of Verse 8 has focused the search on Lake Park.
• The Milwaukee County website has a good collection of historical aerial photographs, including some from the 1980's.
• Here is a photo of what Pere Marquette Park looked like when it was created in the early 1970's: 
  

Image Matches

Many of the shapes hidden in Image 10 are visual allusions to the most famous and iconic landmarks in Milwaukee, but a few of the images seem to point (more subtly) to the actual treasure spot.  The table below attempts to narrow down the clues from city-level to site-level.

Milwaukee City Hall The picture at the far right was taken from the northeast corner of Water & Kilbourn. To get a perfect match with the illustration, one would need to be standing one block further north at the intersection of N. Water Street and E. State Street.  At that location, with City Hall in the background, the juggler would be looking west (along State Street) toward Pere Marquette Park.
Juneau Pose Some people believe that the posture of the juggler is meant to resemble the posture of Solomon Juneau in the bronze relief on the Juneau Monument in Juneau Park.
Laureate The hair pattern above the juggler's forehead appears to be a very strong match for Laureate, a public sculpture directly across the Milwaukee River from Pere Marquette Park. The straight lines just below that could form a "Wi," indicating Wisconsin.
Brick Pattern #1 The pattern on the juggler's collar matches the pattern of the brickwork behind the Wisconsin Club (the former Mitchell Mansion) at 900 W. Wisconsin Avenue.  (This is, however, a very common pattern.  You can buy the same bricks at Home Depot.)
Brick Pattern #2 The pattern on the juggler's collar ALSO matches the pattern of the brickwork on the parking garage on E. Wells between Cathedral Square and the Pabst Theater.  (Google Maps view)
The two red balls in the juggler's hands are likely to be significant.  Under Interpretation 2A on the Verse 8 page, the balls would represent the two large, circular holes in the Lake Park Footbridge. (Note the "millstone" at the bottom of the picture by the base of the tree.)   Under Interpretation 2B on the Verse 8 page, the balls could represent the red spheres used to mark tee areas on some golf courses.  Similar markers may have been used on the Lake Park golf course in 1981.
Cicada This is the shape that is thought to look like a cicada nymph.  Cicadas are sometime (incorrectly) called "locusts," so this could be a hint towards Locust Avenue or a locust tree.  Locust Avenue runs into Lake Park north of the Grand Staircase and there is a Locust Street Ravine Trail.  This, again, would work with Interpretation 2A on the Verse 8 page, which sends us on the Locust Street Ravine Trail.
Portrait The cicada shape, if rotated 90 degrees, looks like the portrait of a man with a turban from the Ottoman Empire.   Pirate Barbarossa and Sultan Mehmet III's portraits present similar features.
Millstone The millstone floating in the air by the juggler is part of a hint to the name of the city ("mill" + "walk" + "key").  It may also be a visual reference to the large concrete disk located at the foot of the Locust Street Ravine Trail where it meets Lincoln Memorial Drive.

Latitude / Longitude Hints

  There do not appear to be any hints to latitude or longitude in Image 10.

Questions, questions, questions...

• Has Laureate always been in the same spot where it is now?
• What did Pere Marquette Park look like in 1980?
