Nothing like a sunset hike on a frozen lake.

Under a blue sky
Bitter cold sunset
First bitter cold spell of the season also brought a nice sunset. Lake Monona freezing over quickly now.
Longing for some solstice sun
In Madison, we’ve had close to three weeks of sunless sky. Add in the long hours of darkness, and my psyche is really hungry for some sunshine. As a remedy, I decided to post evidence of the star our planet circles, from an earlier and brighter day.
Thankfully, at least the amount of daylight starts to increase tomorrow. Happy solstice everyone.

I biked over to Tenney Park to watch the sun set last night. When I got there, I found six large rocks (about a foot and a half tall), perfectly balanced along the rocky edge of the pier.
Skyscraping
Rays of light
Yesterday evening I biked around Lake Monona. During the entire ride, my eyes kept being drawn to the sunbeams in the sky.
Streaks of color at dusk
Last week I was camping in northern Wisconsin. Of the six days I was there, the persistent clouds allowed me to see only one sunset. That evening on Trout Lake, about 20 minutes after the sun drifted below the horizon, gorgeous streaks of color appeared.
