Shadow Shot Sunday: Bike

In this case, the shadow was in better condition than the object casting it…

Friday My Town: Bicycles

It’s not exactly bicycle-friendly weather here just now.
The two winter photos are from this month, the rest from my archives.

This one I snapped with my mobile one morning this week, outside the hospital. In the summer this bicycle parking spot is usually overfull… In winter, not so many!!!

I used to have an old bicycle similar to this one. Back in my twenties I cycled a lot, living in a town that was mostly flat. (Never used to cycle in the winter in snow and ice though.)

Then I moved to a town not so flat… For many years I lived on top of one hill, having my place of work on top of another hill. As I always had to walk and push the bike half the way anyway, sometimes it just did not feel worth while.

After an injury causing long-lasting neck problems I gave up the bike altogether. No, I did not throw it in the river ;) I gave it away to some junk recycling collection in connection with moving, not having used it at all for eight years. Maybe it got a new life, maybe not… I don’t know!

Better keep an eye on your bike in town…
Leaving it over night by the riverside is not a good idea.

An unusual bike for two.

Sunday Morning Shadows

Every man ought to be inquisitive through every hour of his great adventure down to the day when he shall no longer cast a shadow in the sun. For if he dies without a question in his heart, what excuse is there for his continuance?
