Wind blown sunset

February 17, 2024Silhouette, Sky, TreesJonathan

Silhouette of a tree in front of an orangey sunset sky over a frozen lake. The downtown Madison skyline can be seen on the opposite shore.

Walked over to the lake to watch the sunset. Probably should have stayed longer to see the colors evolve more, but that cold wind was brutal!

Airline to heaven

February 11, 2024Quotes, Silhouette, SkyJonathan

An airplane flies through a sunset sky over the City of Madison skyline.

“There’s an airline plane,
Flies to heaven every day,
Past the pearly gates.
If you want to ride this train,
Have your ticket in your hand,
Before it is too late.”

From the song Airline to Heaven. Words by Woody Guthrie, music by Billy Bragg & Wilco.

The djembe drum

February 1, 2024Life, Music, Still LifeJonathan

Close up of the middle section of a djembe drum. Colorful blue tuning ropes are at the top, and you can see some of the wood carvings in the drum's base.

For just over two years now, I’ve been drumming and playing percussion again. Previously, I hadn’t done that since my early college days. I’ve been enjoying it so much that about a month ago, I decided to upgrade my main instrument. It’s such a beautiful drum!
