5,200-year-old canoe in #LakeMendota rewrites #GreatLakes Indigenous life .. Beneath quiet water, a network once thrived. Boats weren’t personal property but shared tools, linking people, places, and beliefs. One unearthed canoe now helps piece together www.splashtravels.com/world-histor... History

Sunset over Lake Mendota. #Sunset #Lake #Sky #Clouds #Pier #Nature #Photography #LakeMendota #Madison #Wisconsin
Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin as the sun sets. The bottom third of the photo is the lake with a couple of piers in the foreground. One goes almost all the way across the photo, from left to right. The other goes about a third of the way. Just a little under center in the photo is a line of trees on the opposite shore. Above the trees is a layer of pink sky. Above that is a purple cloud. And above that is a patch of blue sky surrounded by grey clouds, with a hint of white at the top center.

Image of snow drifting on a frozen lake. The shoreline comes in on the right side and is comprised of leafless trees and shrubs. The sky is blue with a few fluffy white clouds.

Feels like a new rush, new rush flowering
Oh, like a break in the ice
Felt like the clouds got tired of opening
But, oh, I ain’t felt light in a while

Image of a frozen lake with three small icy shanties in the distance. The sky looks foreboding and hazy.

Sunset, Lake Mendota. #Sunset #Lake #Sky #Clouds #Pier #Person #LakeMendota #Nature #Photography #Madison #Wisconsin
In the foreground is a wooden pier stretching across the width of the photo. In the middle of it is a bicycle on its side and a little to the right of it a silhouetted person is sitting down watching the sunset. The lake is shimmering with light and there are reflected streaks of the sun on the water. On the far edge of the lake are silhouetted tree lines. Above them are grey clouds stretching across the photo with the sun appearing between them. The parts of the sky that are not covered by clouds are various hues of yellow and in one spot on the left it is pink.

Proof that I managed to keep my boat afloat and dock to end my first sailing lesson. At this point I was SO relieved to be out of the 20 mph wind. It’s hard to believe fatigue, adrenaline and fun could come from sailing in what looks a floating 1970s bathtub. #sailing #sailboat #lakemendota
