At the antique mall

January 24, 2023Architecture, HistoryJonathan

A shelf full of antique metal and cardboard containers. Many have colorful graphics along with brand names of coffee, baking powder, slug shot, oats, ice cream, etc.

A few scenes from the Columbus Antique Mall. Had as much fun looking at the old buildings as I did the items for sale.

Enjoying the ice

January 9, 2023Lakes, Sky, Snow & IceJonathan

Sun shining in an orange sky, just above the horizon.  A bicyclist is riding across a snow covered, frozen lake.

I went for a walk on the water early Saturday evening (Lake Monona). Quite a few others out there enjoying the ice with me.

Icy variations

January 2, 2023Abstract, Lakes, Snow & IceJonathan

A diptych of two photos of lake ice with dramatically different patterns.

It’s fascinating how thawing and freezing cycles can produce such different patterns in the lake ice, so close together. These two shots were taken just a few feet from each other on Lake Mendota.

Follow the sun

December 29, 2022Black & White, Hiking, Quotes, Snow & IceJonathan

Winding hiking trail leading up a snow covered hill. The sun shines down from the middle of the sky.

“For tomorrow may rain, so I’ll follow the sun.”

Boxing Day sunset

December 27, 2022Sky, Snow & IceJonathan

A streaky orange sky over a frozen lake. There's a tree in silhouette in the foreground, and the Madison skyline in the distance.

First time catching a sunset in a long time. I think I made up for that by taking too many photos.
