Icy sunset

December 3, 2024Lakes, Sky, Snow & Ice, TextureJonathan

Bare trees line a small peninsula in front of a sunset sky. In the foreground, the lake's bay is covered in rough ice.

A couple more from Governor’s Island. Yes, that’s ice, completely covering the bay on the north side of the “island.”

Ice along the shore

December 1, 2024Lakes, Sky, Snow & IceJonathan

A large tree branch hangs across an inlet of a lake. There are icicles and thick ice all along the shore, and on the branch's lower limbs. Through the upper tree branches, the State Capitol can be seen from across the lake, out of focus.

Late yesterday afternoon at Governor’s Island. I didn’t stay too long, that cold wind off the lake was brutal! Winter has arrived.

Cold but beautiful sunset

November 28, 2024Silhouette, SkyJonathan

Orange, yellow, and red clouds over a lakeshore behind the silhouettes of a tree and two strings of hanging lights.

As I watched the sun going down along Lake Monona yesterday, the wind and cold temperature were telling me that winter is knocking on the door.

Construction cranes

November 25, 2024Cityscape, SkyJonathan

Two cranes over a building that under construction, which is in between two other buildings. A flock of birds is seen flying next to the crane, through a moody and cloudy sky.

Ever present over downtown Madison.

The sun struggles to shine through a layer of grey clouds, behind several large, bare trees that are in silhouette.

Oh November, you sure are a moody one.

Almost full

November 13, 2024Astronomy, SkyJonathan

An almost full moon shines between some bare tree branches in a twilight blue sky.

I intended to shoot the sunset this evening, but the cloud deck moving in had other plans. The moon in the east was a pretty good consolation prize.
