While it may be a fun campsite, every time I walk by this tipi I think how incongruous it is in this location. Tipis were found on the Great Plains, not the Wisconsin woodlands. :-) At least the white canvas blends in with the snow.
Saturday was the day before yet another round of arctic air hit Wisconsin, so I decided to enjoy the sunshine's warmth and wander around Sheboygan's South Pier.
Wisconsin is a land of gently rolling hills, with no mountains most of the year. By mid-February the snow piles near parking lots take on mountainous proportions and temporarily change our topography.
This snow pile is at the edge of a public parking lot that is located next to our apartment complex. On the other side of the "mountain ridge" is our van and apartment , both obscured by the snow.

Second try. This is the blending of two different exposures (13 sec and 3.2 sec), mainly to keep the Capital Dome from saturating. Also cloned out a radio tower and its bright red lights. Very good night - almost no turbulance! Taken at the Olin Park boat ramp.

As a long-time resident of Michigan and Illinois, I was tempted to call this, "Looking Down on Cheeseheads."

nrhp # 760000054- The H. H. Bennett Studio is a historic photographic studio and photography museum located in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, United States. The studio building was built in 1875 by noted landscape photographer H. H. Bennett. It was operated by his family until 1998, when the studio was donated to the Wisconsin Historical Society. Today the studio, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, serves as a historical museum.
History
H. H. Bennett began his career as a photographer in 1865, when he bought a portrait studio in Kilbourn City (now Wisconsin Dells) from local photographer Leroy Gates. Although there was little demand for portraits in the area, Bennett was able to achieve fame for a series of photographs he took of the nearby Dells of the Wisconsin River. As Bennett's pictures of local scenery became popular in cities across the nation, sightseers began to flock to Kilbourn City to view the Dells in person. Bennett capitalized on this by offering the tourists souvenir postcards and portraits, and was able to build a new red brick studio in 1875. This is the structure that still stands in Wisconsin Dells today. In addition to operating as a typical photographic studio, Bennett's studio functioned as a gift shop and information center for the surrounding area, selling souvenirs and crafts to visitors.
At the studio, Bennett devised a number of new technologies to advance his photography. Among the most notable of his creations was his revolving solar printing house. Printing photos in Bennett's time required light, and because electricity was not available, sunlight was needed for Bennett to print any pictures. However, to ensure that he had sufficient sunlight throughout the day, Bennett needed a way to move his workspace while the sun moved in the sky. To achieve this, he constructed a small building with skylights, and mounted it upon rollers that rode a circular track outside his studio. Then, using a cable and pulley system, he was able to move the printing house around the track as often as needed to ensure optimum sunlight for printing. Bennett's unique creation is now housed in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

This is very near the nursing home where my dad lives so I pass it often. There was a "for sale" sign on the property, then the sign disappeared and I noticed different horses there so I assume it has a new owner. Sunday when I went by, the pasture in the foreground had been mowed, a fence had been removed and this horse appeared to be tied to the tree. He was pacing around and didn't look very happy to be confined that way!
