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.
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.
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.
Hot Summer Night – Photographs
On a hot summer night this Sunday, I visited beautiful Grant Park for the first time in years. Photos are from Grant Park’s Seven Bridges, hidden beach, golf course, and more. Don’t leave summer!
Scared all the Sunday golfers away for a moment…
Crossing… Lake Michigan in the background with a stream running into the park in the foreground.
I want to make this my summer cottage…
Eerie and beautiful…
Trying to hold camera steady as mosquitoes maul me…
Beautiful ‘hidden’ beach…
Crawling through the spiderwebs…
Splash of color… and mosquitoes…
My stairs can beat-up your stairs.
Yeah. It’s was a little humid.
Leaving…
Beautiful bending branch over Lake Michigan.
Thanks for reading! ~VB
Jazz in the Park
Second-to-last Jazz in the Park at Cathedral Square in downtown Milwaukee. Beautiful, hot summer night and great turn-out.
He’s the only one facing the correct way. 😛
Strike a pose.
Double-fisting.
Wisconsin State Fair Photos
I went to the last Saturday of the Fair this August, and brought along my camera to take some Wisconsin State Fair Photos. Even onto the rides. I broke my 5D3 to the lightest form I could, which included just using the light “plastic fantastic” Canon 50mm f/1.8.
After taking the above photo, the guy with his thumbs up (lower left), who I didn’t know, asked if I got him in the shot.
When I took the photo I didn’t realize he had his thumb up, but when I quickly reviewed it, my eye was immediately drawn to him.
He took a look at the photo and declared that it’s going to go viral.
I won’t be angry if he’s right 😛
The above photo is from one of the barns, at a coloring station for kids. I immediately thought this was hilarious.
The part that really gets me is that whoever colored this colored in one of the adults jeans, and then was like “screw this,” scribbling out the parents and sibling.
SKYFLYER PHOTOS
So this ride called “Skyflyer” was like a standard swing-ride on steroids.
It definitely didn’t seem super safe, and we actually had to come back down after initial lift-off as someone was panicking.
But it certainly was exhilarating and got some great views of the fair.
HORSE AND COW COMPETITIONS
And some more fun at the Fair…
The Wisconsin State Fair was already more than 2 weeks ago, and it sure makes you realize how fast summer is flying by. Was a great time and makes me wish I could make those moments last forever.
