Finding ways to make the daily commute fun

What is this life if full of care...

Last NOLA image before I'm back to regularly scheduled programing.

The commute has been nice lately and it won't be long till the snow is gone.

Rolling Prairie, Indiana

A normal commute on the train into the city one weekday morning.

Standing on that wobbly bit between the two carriages.

This week 48 of my commute has been agited and marked by the second biggest politic event (or first depending where you are at) of 2016 : American President Trump. On the , Britain started to protest and millions signed a petition to forbid this man to enter in the U.K. After the brexit I found this quite ironic and a bit scary...

Snowshoeing near Snoqualmie Pass, about an hour outside Seattle.

 

Near the beginning routes there are several cottages. When this guy went swooshing by I thought "wotta commute."

 

My sister, nephew, brother, and I later played in deep, new snows -- otherworldly fun on snowshoes!

My mom leaves the house most mornings around 6.30 or so. Long before the sun rises in bucolic Pualski County.

 

My dad and I took an early morning ride to Carolina to have breakfast with his brother Phil at Cousin Gary's. A fine little establishment, where you're free to visit the buffet as many times as you like and light up a phillip morris with your coffee when you're done.

I don't quite know what happened with the windows of this train. This was pan shot trying to match the motion of a passing train. Possibly some artefact of the electronic front curtain shutter? The effect lent itself to the abstract nature of this shot so it didn't bother me. I just don't quite know what caused it. If you have an idea, let me know in the comments!

 

Turns out the simplest explanation was the correct one. Not an artefact of any kind, there simply are windows at two different heights on this particular commuter train. How embarrassing!

I actually stopped the car and stood along the road to shoot this.

Commuting in Tokyo is not always the most pleasant experience. Often it can be down right miserable. I go to great lengths to avoid the crowded times on the train. When I can't avoid them I make sure I have a camera ready as there is always good photo opportunities.

Since the 1870's, commute trains have been a staple in the public transportation tapestry on the Peninsula. Under the auspices of CalTrain, commutes continue to roll between San Francisco and Gilroy. The future of the commutes is solid, thanks to record ridership, baby bullet service, increased frequency of service and modern infrastructure, as seen at the beautiful multi-modal station in Millbrae (cross-platform connection with BART). With electrification in it's future, and California High Speed Rail sharing the line soon, the commutes future is solid.
