There are times when a five minute ride though an urban oasis like this makes a dull day at work disappear. With three kids and little spare cash I seldom get out to the trails, but I find dirt in the city where I can, and sometimes it's pretty special.
This is a picture showing the best side of commuting: the commute home.
Taken in Bank Station, looking up from the Waterloo & City line platforms.
I've taken this picture on my daily commute on the A4 (see the map for the exact location). I had already seen other 5 or 6 equally spectacular sunrises in the days before I took this one and I was getting really annoyed because there's nothing worse than waking up early on Sunday or Saturday and come back with an empty card and then see every other (working) day a scenery like this one. So that morning I decided not to be caught unprepared and took all my gear with me. I drove slowly until I could find a suitable spot on an emergency parking area and then waited. The result you're seeing it above. Hope you like it.
Commute 2 (2.11.11)
For some reason I woke up early and made a split second decision to pack up my bag, hop on the bike, and bike all the way in to work via the flat, 42-mile route. My Friday commute pledge is currently in jeopardy due to a changed meeting schedule. But I figured I'll try to work with it by leaving earlier. For some reason, on today's ride, I had forgotten what little I had ever learned about long-distance commuting. I overdressed. The knee warmers that had me aching last commute somehow found their way back onto my knees for this commute. The tail light I was pretty sure was dying on the prior evening's commute home, did in fact die, just as expected, about 2 miles out of the city. (I was carrying back-up batteries.) I was dehydrated and under-caloried as I woke up way before my appetite. Along the busy thoroughfare by the airport, I dropped my water bottle--for the first time in my entire life. It was a slog. I pulled over, removed one whole layer of clothing. Chugged some water. Cleared my head. Ditched the negative attitude. Things got better after that, particularly once a glorious sunrise started breaking. At that moment, too, another rider passed me. I worked hard to catch up to him by a popular break spot. There, we chatted a bit, discovered we were headed to the same general destination, and decided we'd enjoy each other's company for the second half of the commute. Working together, our pace picked up, as did our spirits. Thanks, Paul, and nice to meet you!
St Albans to the City of London is reputed to be Britain's "most expensive commute".
Rather than take the train, I decided to travel overland and see what I could see...
One of the reasons I was eager to get my hands on the new Olympus OM-D E-M5 was that I wanted to get more accustomed to doing street photography.
The PEN-sized OM-D is a much more subtle option compared to the Nikon D90 which I previously owned. Another advantage is the tilting screen which makes it easy to stealthily shoot from the hip.
This photo was taken in the Helsinki subway. Currently it takes 30-40 minutes to ride the entire line. I remember when as a high school student I also slept through most of my commutes.
Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M5
Lens: Panasonic 25mm f1.4 ASPH Leica DG Summilux

(THAUG2BW/015)
I have two bikes I ride to work: the summer bike (road bike) and the rain bike (cylcocross). As indicated by name, weather determines the choice.
An advantage of riding the rain bike is that I can cut through the trails in Stanley Park and for about 10 minutes my commute through downtown Vancouver looks like this.
Unfortunately this is my last morning commute pic for the year, it's too dark in the mornings now and getting darker fast.
