Pinkney Street

December 13, 2024Architecture, CityscapeJonathan

Two steel and glass buildings (nine and eleven stories) on opposite sides of the street. Both have a curved, concave side which faces the street.

The design of the two buildings on this block (looking southeast from Doty Street) is fascinating. Were they intentionally created to mirror each other? Someday, I just might have to get up early and capture the sunrise here.

Looking for dinner

December 10, 2024BirdsJonathan

Hawk, perched in the middle of several tree branches. Their head is turned so they're facing just to the right of the camera, looking down over their shoulder.

I almost missed this hawk perched up there in the trees, they were well hidden!

Flying into sunset

December 7, 2024Birds, Silhouette, SkyJonathan

Silhouettes of eight tundra swans flying away from the camera in an orange sunset sky with streaky yellow clouds. Puffy, deep orange clouds are below the flying swans.

I suppose if I were a tundra swan, and a beautiful sunset appeared, I’d fly up off the water, and head toward the center of that deep orange sky too.

Getting the shot

December 5, 2024Architecture, Black & White, Just for FunJonathan

A man holding a camera high above his head, facing the main entrance of Monona Terrace.

As I was about to take a photo of the Monona Terrace Convention Center, I noticed another photographer in the distance, reaching high to get the shot he wanted. I couldn’t resist zooming in and capturing him in that pose.

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.

Marshy birch grove

November 23, 2024Black & White, Landscape, TreesJonathan

A grove of birch trees along side a grassy marsh. A small creek is seen in the foreground.

Moody

November 21, 2024Silhouette, Sky, TreesJonathan

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.
