Williams Bay WI Hovercrafts
Slip Sliding Away in D'Bay - 46 degrees and our mid-February thaw has turned what ice is left on Geneva Lake into a playground for this group of hovercraft enthusiasts. Note the edge of the receding ice is just past where the group is clustered out near Gage Marine & Pier 290. Talk about skating on thin ice.

2012 Williams Bay Polar Plunge
To ring in the New Year, dozens of brave people run into the freezing water of Geneva Lake during the annual Polar Plunge.

Quintessence
After many months, the long-awaited and anticipated Quintessence has been released.
Quintessence was shot from March 3rd to May 25th. A Canon EOS 6D, Samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens, and standard Canon tripod was used for every single time lapse. Throughout this time period, many astronomical events have taken place, some of which can be seen in this time lapse.
3:16-3:40 - the Camelopardalids meteor shower.
2:56 - the April Lyrids meteor shower- sadly none caught :(
2:23 - faint airglow
2:49 - A total lunar eclipse
0:48 - the core of the milky way, hence the name Quintessence
Other geomagnetic storms and minor meteor showers took place over this time period and during some films, but I wasn't pointed in the right direction. Some films included in this time lapse will be uploaded as separate films for viewing in the following days. In some of these films, deer are visible and a snow storm's effects on the trees are shown in extreme elapsed time.
Most of these films were taken in Sayner and St. Germain, Wisconsin. It's honestly the best place that I know about to take images of the night sky. Some were also taken at Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin.
In a lot of the films, satellites and planes are visible. Typically, they'll last a few frames in the time lapse: a little less than a second. If you're quick enough, you'll spot a meteor, which only lasts 1 frame. At 1:53, you'll see a fireball through the thin clouds. It's seen burning up in the atmosphere. It only lasts one frame, so be quick about looking for it!
A lot of the nights I was out yearning for a clear sky, cloudy skies or rain deprived me of what I'd come for. One week I stayed in Sayner, the week of March 26th, and it was only clear for about 1 1/2 nights out of the 8 nights we stayed. A real bummer, but amazing films were taken that night and a half, like at 0:47 and 1:34. Towards the end of the film and where I'm writing this now is from Black Bear Lodge in St. Germain, Wisconsin. It's right next to Sayner. Here, the Camelopardalids meteor shower peaked the first night we got here. It was a complete and utter disappointment, but we managed to see about 15 meteors the whole night, and a few showed up in some of my images and time lapses.
On the trip of May 24th, I didn't have an intervalometer. I had the intervalometer itself, but not the dang cord. Bestbuy didn't have one and neither did my mentor, so I went back to how I used to do it: sat outside all 8 hours that night until 1 hour after the sun rose, snapping over 1000 pictures and admiring the Camelopardalids meteor shower. I have to say, it was one of the best times of my life so far. The sky is beautiful and this manual time lapse thing isn't really that annoying.
A warm thanks to Yerkes Observatory for allowing me to use the observatory ground and include its iconic 41-inch telescope in one of my time lapses. Hopefully more to come from up in Williams Bay in the future.
I chose the song Helluva Life by Frankie Ballard because I think it went well with the theme of the video- the heavens above and the magnificence of our Universe. I take no credit for the song: all rights go to Frankie Ballard. I think the song corresponds to the stars, and sometimes the words really go well with the film that is playing at the same time.
My next time lapse should be released within 3 months, and I'll have some nice views of the core of the milky way rising over Plum Lake in Sayner, Wisconsin. It'll be better than this time lapse...
Being 14 makes it harder to travel: navigating as well as finding the right place and the right time to get images. I hope you all appreciate the heavens as much as I do, and enjoy.

Lake Geneva Boat Tour
Geneva Lake is a body of freshwater in Walworth County in southeastern Wisconsin. On its shores are the city of Lake Geneva, and the villages of Fontana-on-Geneva-Lake, and Williams Bay.
The lake covers an area of approximately 5,401 acres (8.439 sq mi; 21.86 km2), has a maximum length of 7.5 miles (12.1 km), mean depth of 61 feet (19 m) and a maximum depth of 135 feet (41 m).Geologists believe that it is a filled-in kettle formed from a receding glacier.
The lake and the community of Lake Geneva were named for the town of Geneva, New York, located on Seneca Lake, which government surveyor John Brink thought it resembled. To avoid confusion with the nearby town of Geneva, Illinois, the city was renamed Lake Geneva; later the lake was renamed Geneva Lake.[citation needed]
Lakeshore attractions include Big Foot Beach State Park, Lake Geneva Yacht Club, the George Williams College campus of Aurora University, and Yerkes Observatory. The observatory is owned by the University of Chicago, which has established a study group to plan a regional center for science education at the observatory.
Public access to the lake is allowed as the result of a decision by early European settlers that 20 feet of land leading up to the shoreline should be public domain. A shorepath, which is open to the public, completely surrounds the lake. Between 21 and 26 miles long, it follows the route taken by Potawatomi Indians. The path crosses the estates of the Schwinns, Swifts, Wackers, and Wrigleys.
A beach day in Wisconsin
What do you do when it's almost 80º in Milwaukee, WI after a long winter? Go to Bradford Beach on Lake Michigan! But since water temperatures were only in the 50's, most people stayed on the sand.

Lake Geneva - Along the Beaten Path
With its world-class resorts, incredible restaurants and year-round activities, Lake Geneva is a pinnacle of luxury and relaxation. But the 20+ mile shore path around Geneva Lake gives everybody lakefront access and connects the three communities of Lake Geneva, Williams Bay and Fontana. Host Mariah Haberman treks around the lake to discover what awaits along the beaten path.
As the only lake in Wisconsin with the entire shoreline accessible, there’s a lot to see around Geneva Lake! Local historian Jim Beloian joins Mariah for a walk along the shore path, where he explains the history of many of the famous homes on the lake including the Wrigley estate, Stone Manor, and Black Point Estate & Gardens. Mariah makes a few stops along the shore path including the Geneva Lake Museum and Baker House 1885, where she enjoys a champagne toast at sunset.
Geneva Lake is an endless source for recreation and relaxation, with opportunities for boating, swimming, stand-up paddle boarding, and even flyboarding (essentially, a water jetpack). Mariah teams up with Wisconsin Hydrosports to learn about this growing trend and even gives it a try herself! For those looking for a less extreme water activity, the Lake Geneva Cruise Line has a number of pick up and drop off locations along the shore path, where visitors can hop on board for a lake tour. The arrival of winter doesn’t mean an end to boating quite yet in the Lake Geneva area. With the lake typically not freezing until late January, The Lake Geneva Cruise Line takes visitors on a magical journey to the “North Pole” on its Santa Cruise with beautiful light displays along the shoreline and a special surprise for kids along the way! And once the lake does freeze over, ice boaters flock to Geneva Lake to race in the Ice Boating Capital of the World.
Ambitious hikers can take the shore path through all three communities around the lake, but chances are you’ll want to stop and take a break in each one. Downtown Lake Geneva is home to dozens of unique shops and restaurants, including Oakfire. With a focus on specialty pizza and a gorgeous, outdoor deck overlooking the lake, it’s the perfect place to grab a bite to eat. Williams Bay is home to Pier 290, one of just two commercial properties directly on the lakeshore. Enjoy delicious, Wisconsin comfort food, grab a drink at the outdoor bar or spend a day at Pier 290’s beach right out front. Further still along the shore path is Fontana, home to The Abbey Resort as well as Gordy’s Marine and Chuck’s Lakeshore Inn. Mariah visits each of these beloved lakeside spots and even indulges in Chuck’s famous “Sweet Tart” drink. There’s always something new to explore along the shore path!
