The songs are all my own original creations, and this was shot with a Nikon D7000 and 12mm wide angle lens.
I have posted a lengthy description of how this was done on the page of the YouTube version. Be aware that this can cause some serious stability issues when going downhill.

The Mikhailovsky Garden is a large area of parkland and landscape garden in the centre of Saint Petersburg.
The garden was one of the early developments of the city soon after its foundation. Previously it had been part of the estates and hunting grounds of a Swedish noble, but after its capture during the region's conquest by the Russians in the early 1700s, it became part of the imperial estates, and was granted by Peter the Great to his wife Catherine for her palace. Catherine's palace, on the banks of the Moyka River, was known as the Golden Mansion, and the surrounding land was developed by Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Le Blond as a garden both for pleasure, and to provide supplies for the imperial household. During this time it went by several names, including the "Swedish Garden", the "Tsaritsyn Garden", and the "Third Summer Garden". The garden was further developed during the reigns of Empress Anna Ioannovna and Empress Elizabeth, who built new palaces and arranged the land to suit their own preferences. Empress Catherine's palace was demolished in 1768 and during the reign of Emperor Paul I the Mikhailovsky Castle was built to the east of the gardens. The garden was included in these redevelopments, but Paul was assassinated in the castle in 1801, and for some years after that the area was neglected.
The next large scale redevelopment took place in the 1810s when Emperor Alexander I commissioned a new palace complex for his younger brother, Grand Duke Michael Pavlovich from architect Carlo Rossi. The Mikhailovsky Palace, named for its occupant, was completed in 1825 to the south of the garden, which was also substantially redeveloped as part of an ensemble that included the land to the north across the Field of Mars and as far as the Neva River. Assisted by Adam Menelaws, Rossi introduced the style and techniques of English landscape gardens, creating a large irregular oval meadow with alleyways, while the ponds were reshaped into more natural meandering outlines. Rossi also designed a pavilion and pier and a bridge as features for the garden. The garden served as the private grounds of the palace until its purchase for the state in 1898 and the establishment of the Russian Museum, at which point it became a city park.
The garden survived the Soviet period, but suffered significant changes to its original composition. Children's play areas, tennis courts and public toilets were built on its grounds, while tree planting was carried out haphazardly, eventually blocking important sightlines around the ensemble. Transferred to the Russian Museum in 1999, the garden underwent substantial restoration in the early 2000s, which recreated Rossi's original designs. The garden was designated an "object of historical and cultural heritage of federal significance" in 2001, and since 2008 has hosted the annual International "Imperial Gardens of Russia" Festival.

The folks at Action Camera asked if I would lead a Photo Meet-uo in Old Sacramento. We spent the evening chasing the good light. And lucky for us, we caught it a couple of times.

My wife was spending the day at UPenn Medical so I took SEPTA into Philadelphia to play tourist for the day.
My primary objective was to tour Independence Hall since it had been a bunch of years since visiting. A timed ticket is required for the tour which I booked online several days before. I picked up my ticket at the visitor center and headed over to the muster point for entering. I was genuinely surprised at the security process which involved having every pocket in my jacket searched and having everything removed in my backpack. Electronics had to be turned on. Once inside, the guided tour was very informative but only lasted about 1/2 hour.
Lunch was a Starbucks “Cafe Mocha”, a favorite of mine, and a slice of banana nut bread.
I finished off my day with a stroll through Christ Church Burial Ground where I did my Casey Neistat routine…. getting myself in a video by placing it on a tripod and walking by. Anyway, the burial ground was founded in 1695. Five of the original signers of the declaration are buried there with Benjamin Franklin being the most notable of them.
My wife sent a text telling me she was going to be done early so I headed back to UPenn Medical following my stroll through the burial ground.
Out of this world landscapes as seen on the fat bike, this two wheeled transport is really becoming a pedal powered ATV.
Surly Wednesday
Still practicing with the drone camera, it looks like I am getting there. Next up commercial application: holiday cottages Drone Tour. I imagine I'd better stock up on replacement propellers.
After a few weeks not out on the bike, I got back out on the Lincoln Trail today. (and brought the Xiaomi Yi, iPhone 12 Pro Max and Sony a6000 cameras).
