Summer Sunset, Lake Mendota

2026-08-24 By Roger Edwards

Summer Sunset, Lake Mendota
Moist scud, behind a gentle summer cold front, ensured color and texture in the waterfront’s sunset sky.  After the end of the conference day, some folks liked to hit the bars, slam down cold brews and hot shots, and get hammered, while wailing about the unfairness of life’s many injustices, real and perceived.  I roll differently.  Having driven the long way up here, I saw instead an opportunity for beauty, grabbed some fast takeout dinner and, based on sun angle and position, headed to what promised (and turned out) to be a tranquil, serene end to the day at a lakeside park.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
