A light rail shot from when I used to get out during the daytime. Yes, I know... there's another bridge : )
I noticed quite a thick Fog when i got up on Friday morning so i packed the camera in my work bag headed out 20 minutes early and rode to work and took the long way.
the Sun had risen enough now that it was above the fog/mist. This is the end of a very quiet country lane and the light coming through the trees looked really impressive with the mist in the air.
Cathedrals; I've seen a few. Never have I visited Canterbury Cathedral. I'm curious to know what all the fuss is about and how this institution has so directed the lives of so many; not always for the good.
To get Damo the excavator into my yard just before I left on this trip required, shall we say, a bit of demolition, a bit of digging, some poking about. What I unexpectedly uncovered was half of a Victorian era brass British Army belt buckle. The motto MON DROIT ET DIEU intrigued me. My Latin isn't great, self-evident when that motto turns out to be a bit French! There are many translations. Most prominently this is the motto of the British Monarch. I would encounter it again soon enough: in Canterbury Cathedral.
This might look like a tour of British railways. I'd arrived in Paddington from Heathrow on the new Express — expensive, but much quicker and left soon thereafter from Brunel's pretty terminus on the Great Western Railway, the GWR. Today it's an early start because the train to Canterbury leaves from Kings Cross St Pancras — the same place as the Eurostar steps off for, err, Europe. This takes me on an unfamiliar route, the Circle Line to London Kings Cross and a short walk to St Pancras and the South Eastern Railway. I don't want to be late!
I had joined the commuters on Platform 2, something I'd normally avoid. Sitting and waiting it occurred to me that about the only things moving were the trains: a zombie commute.
Taken on my way to work and driving my daughter to school. I just had to stop. Only Had time to take four shots so Riley wouldn't be late for class.
Yes, view in the Light Box
I don't know why the EXIF date didn't show on this one. Usually does.

TFW's 150284 crosses Newport Road and heads into the darkness working 2T48 1830 Cardiff Central to Ton Pentre.
The hustle and bustle of a Friday evening commute in Belgrade exemplified in this image taken outside the main station on Savska street on 14 November 2014, with refurbished Tatra 'KT4' tram No.326 prominent. Capital of the former Yugoslavia, this historic but much rebuilt city stands on the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. There are now relatively few old buildings in the city, however the main railway station in this view is one. Belgrade Glavna station was built between 1881 and 1884 by the Oriental Railway as part of the Istanbul-Vienna Railway. The 1000mm tramway running outside, established in 1886, has six lines radiating from a central area circular route. Czech Tatra trams formed a modern fleet from 1980, but the war and economic sanctions saw the system fall into a poor state of repair. Life has now returned to normal with most of the original Tatra fleet refurbished and articulated trams and trailers from Basel having been donated since the war to augment the services.

This is not another sunset!
This is a photo from the commute on the way home. Occasionally I catch the ferry from the city. Each time I wonder why I don't do it more often.
From my commute to work, shoe shiner named Larry Moore. Very nice guy.
Update: 03/24/09 - met Larry officially today on my way back to my office. He had this picture printed out! I was really excited. He wasn't happy with the comments left, but agrees that thus is life and what people are all talking about currently.
Please see an article written about him recently in SFGate:

Update: 3/24/2009 evening - Added pictures to a new comment below of when I met Larry today
A two-bike ride! The 650b Peugeot Porteur was used to carry the Brompton on an 18 mile commute from the office.

First time doing C-41 development at home! We used the Argentix powder kit (mainly because it was the only one available in Canada).
In an alternate 'steampunk' London, the gyrocopter is the only civilised way to get to work.
