The waves have settled down & we finally got some smooth rippled reflections. A quiet morning along the lake… no wind, no waves, no drama. Just a beautiful sunrise ride!

Another splashy morning along the lakefront. Humid & hazy to start… only to be overshadowed by some fun waves splashing up & over the “cement beach” along Oak Street Beach.

Sure, we finally got some beautiful sunrise reflections… but I’m getting a little tired of this Canadian wildfire haze still hanging around Chicago. The hazy horizon, the delayed sunrise & the glowing red sun. It was cool at first… but I’m ready for some clear skies & colorful clouds again! Just sayin’…

Another red sun morning with the Canadian wildfire smoke still hanging around over the lake. Wispy clouds creating colorful reflections waiting to reveal a big “red ball” of a sunrise!

Once again… bigger skyshows require BIGGER panoramic photos!!!

Another beautiful morning. Still a little cooler & breezy… ideal. The waves are still there, but not quite so much crashing ashore! Beautiful clouds for a dramatic morning skyshow!

Another cool morning along the lake. Another morning with wind & splashing waves. Not much of a sunrise view as we are being “infiltrated” by some wildfire smoke blowing in thanks to our northern neighbors in Canada. Hard to believe it’s already August… where did the time go???

With crazy cool winds coming in off the lake, the waves were churning & splashing. Waves everywhere!!! Winds blowing the cooler temps… almost a bit chilly. Especially when my timing was off… and I got a bit of a misty spray in the face!

Quiet & still this morning along the lakefront with some dappled clouds covering the sky. Good potential to color the sky… but it never really happened. Instead we got some cool shrouded sunrise photos with the sun playing hide & seek behind the clouds!

Another stunning sunrise morning. A little cooler with a lot less humidity… it was so pleasant pedaling this morning! Lots of clouds doing cool things on the horizon.
