High-Rise Window-Washers

Not the best job if you suffer from vertigo!

Good Old Summertime

A lovely, lazy summer day down by Pewaukee Lake, watching people fish from the pier and enjoying the beach.

SkyWatch Friday: Along the Boardwalk

Another 'Flashback Friday' photo from last year about this same time, when Nik and I were taking a late spring hike along the Simmons Woods boardwalk. This year the marsh and trees are no where near as green as this picture shows them to be... but at least the sky is blue and the sun is shining!

Winter Afternoon

The sun is positioned low in the southwest sky as it begins its decent over Balmer Park during a wintery January afternoon.

Skywatch Friday: Westward Ho!

A "front" of clouds moving through provided a spectacular sunset view (taken while facing west on Capitol Drive in Pewaukee).

SkyWatch: Aqua Storm Reflection

The pond behind our local Costco reflects the sun obscured by dark clouds as a late summer storm blows through.

SkyWatch Friday: Sundown at Simmons Woods

Simmons Woods sunset with a silhouette of the old "look-out" tree.  Has a spooky, Halloween feel, doesn't it?

More Sunset Clouds

I should just call my blog "Pewaukee Clouds" because we've had so many unusual and colorful clouds illuminated by our sunsets lately. These two photos were snapped with my cell phone out of the side window of our car (while my husband was driving!) on the way home from a local restaurant.  Almost looks like an explosion of fire in the distance.

Billowing Clouds

While driving home from work the other day, there were white clouds billowing up in the distance.  Behind me the sky was threatening to storm, and you could see the contrast reflected in the glass towers ahead.

SkyWatch Friday: Sundown Road

Sorry - I meant to post this yesterday (Friday!) - but finally got a chance to it today.  This was view was taken at sunset from the Ryan St. overpass, looking west over Highway 16 in Pewaukee.

Shivering Oaks: SkyWatch Friday

The setting sun on a blustery day as seen from Highway 16 in Waukesha County.

Whoosh! SkyWatch Friday

Near my work there is a small shopping area with a few restaurants, shops, and a hotel.  Driving over there for lunch one day I noticed the clouds appeared to be "whooshing" across the sky, leaving a trail behind.

SkyWatch Friday: Sunset Over Lambeau

This view was taken from the ramp at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin while walking up to our seats at the Packers-Bears football game on September 13, 2012. (The Packers won, 23-10! Yay!)

Better and Better

The sunsets around here lately just keep getting better and better! I love the reflection on the blanket of clouds above.

Skywatch Friday: Cotton Candy?

A recent sunset reflecting off the billowing clouds made me think of pink cotton candy. Or, perhaps you see something else in these clouds?

SkyWatch Friday: An Evening at the Beach

Even as the sun sets, young families take advantage of the lovely weather on the beach at Pewaukee Lake as long as they can. Winter comes too soon around these parts!

Another Mississippi River Sunset

Taken looking northwest over the Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin, from Riverside Park.  The clouds look like they are boiling up a storm.

Northern Lights

A week or so ago, in the midst of our dry spell, the sunset illuminated the clouds in such a way that it reminded me of the undulating northern lights (which we also see around here from time to time.) It was during the Colorado wildfires and so I wondered - even though we are nearly a thousand miles east of there - if that might have had some effect on the atmosphere.

Skywatch Friday: Storm Front

This view is looking west down Capitol Drive between Brookfield and Pewaukee.  You can see the rain storm above (note the few raindrops on the windshield) and the clearing and sunshine ahead.

SkyWatch Friday: Fleece

The sun has been setting earlier and earlier each day this month, reminding us that fall is on the way. These fleecy clouds caught the evening glow in just the right way.
