Sunset on Milwaukee’s Skyline

A perfect summer day at Lakeshore State Park on Lake Michigan. Watching the sun set on Milwaukee’s growing skyline.

Timelapses – Hidden Harvest Moon

Clolorful clouds blocked the sky in nearly all directions on the evening of the harvest moon. Check out timelapses and stills from it.

I give it at least a 10% chance there is a couple making out behind the lighthouse.
Twilight at Pierhead Lighthouse

I was at the other end of the park (without a camera) pouting about not seeing the moon when the clouds light up a bright reddish color. This was the very end of it.
Colorful Sky Over Pierhead Lighthouse

A party boat made these ripples. I thought for sure they were going to boat over and heckle me, so I put on my invisibility-cape.
