It seems to have become a tradition with me that, on the afternoon after the final Wiscon sessions, I take a stroll up past the Capitol, down to Lake Monoma, along the lakeside and back to the hotel. (Some years this gets extended, it all depends on the weather and my general state of energy.)

Anyway, this year I remembered to take my camera along with me.


Some views of the Capitol - I guess the reason that there don't seem to be the usual protestors around was that these were taken on Memorial Day. Also, my camera's zoom capabilities were not up to the task of getting a really good image of the figure standing on top on the dome, who, I am reliably informed, is wearing a badger (the state animal) on her head.










This was an attractive water feature on the street opposite the Capitol:

And thence to the Monoma Terrace on the lake edge:








Then I walked along by the side of the lake. The water was quite choppy: although the weather had got much warmer than when I arrived in Madison a few days before, down by the lake it was really breezy.

Excellent — so odd to see ducks on rough water!
