Playing with Light…Two Views from My Handlebars

So first of all I have to say it was cold today…really cold. The high temp was 18F/-8C. Tonight it is supposed to dip into the single digits (F). Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the brisk riding conditions. Mind you, I wouldn’t want it like this all the time (though in the dog days of summerContinue reading “Playing with Light…Two Views from My Handlebars”

Droplets at Dusk; Water and Light

So yes…I have taken and posted pictures similar to these before (I really like to capture water in motion); click here for previous pics. But I’m jumping ahead. This evening, before I headed off to work it was raining and already dusk…some of the darkest days of the year at present. But it struck meContinue reading “Droplets at Dusk; Water and Light”

Two Views from my Handlebars

The weather this past week has been–as far as I’m concerned–perfect. Idyllically autumn. Crisp, barely a breeze, or cloud in the sky. Also perfect weather to be on a bike. The above photo is a building I pass everyday, and as I coasted past this evening the sun hit it just right. This is alsoContinue reading “Two Views from my Handlebars”

The View from My Handlebars…

It was such a beautiful day and evening today; it felt more like spring than it did autumn. It was warm (freakishly warm)…70F/21C. Anyhow, I was at the intersection of Summer and Elmwood Streets, looking west, when I saw the scene pictured above. I thought I’d share. To see more views from my handlebars, clickContinue reading “The View from My Handlebars…”

A View from My Handlebars…Crazy Swirly Sky (three photos)

If you’ve been to this blog before then you know that I enjoy taking photos of the sky. And lately there have been many opportunities…there have been the craziest swirly cloud formations. I took the first two photos on my way home this evening, and then about twenty minutes later–as I left the house toContinue reading “A View from My Handlebars…Crazy Swirly Sky (three photos)”

Five Photos of the Setting Sun…

Dusk and dawn are my two favorite times to take photos…the slant of the sun does magical things. These were taken over the course of the past two days at varying times of evening; from early evening to just as it turned from dusk to night. My favorite, though, is the image above…it’s a cloudContinue reading “Five Photos of the Setting Sun…”

The View from My Handlebars…

It’s starting to get dark earlier as the season progresses. I worked a split shift today. The kitchen was hot but not crazy-hot. But still it felt good to get out and hop on a bike in the fresh air for my short commute home. On my ride, and when I took these photos, itContinue reading “The View from My Handlebars…”

The View from My Handlebars…six photos of buildings and sky

I’ve mentioned this before but I will again. I find it interesting when on a bike how keenly aware you are of the weather (how could you not be). Last week, for example, we had a mini-heatwave and I was conscious of being a sweaty mess wherever I pedaled. Today, though, was just lovely…I knowContinue reading “The View from My Handlebars…six photos of buildings and sky”

Five Photos of Buildings and Sky

These were taken over two days. The top and bottom were taken today, and the middle three were shot yesterday. What a difference a day makes. Today there was nary a cloud in the sky and yesterday it rained for most of the day. The clouds broke just before sunset yesterday and it had theContinue reading “Five Photos of Buildings and Sky”

Dusk

I was at my desk working this evening when I glanced out the window and saw this view…breathtaking. And knowing that at dawn and dusk when you see the light just right it is fleeting and you only have a few minutes to see it and/or capture it with a camera. I was already inContinue reading “Dusk”

Comments about Dusk…and one other thing

That’s my Mundo pictured above; it’s parked in one of my usual spots at the health club (I commented on this parking spot previously at this post). I came out of the club this evening at just about 6pm and saw the incredible blue hue you see in all of these photos; none are adulterated.Continue reading “Comments about Dusk…and one other thing”

Four More Photos and a Few Words About Them

The sky tonight is/was incredible…or more specifically, the full moon in a crystal clear sky was incredible. And as I gazed at it I couldn’t help think of all the people in the northern hemisphere that could see this very same orb in the sky just as I did. Anyhow, the picture above shows theContinue reading “Four More Photos and a Few Words About Them”

A Few Pics (during semi-delirium)

These are a few photos I took during the day and then just as the sun was going down. The reason I wrote the pics were taken “in a semi-delirium” is my current physical state…nothing major, just the common cold. But it’s one I’ve been fighting for about the past week or so, and I’mContinue reading “A Few Pics (during semi-delirium)”
