"In the before-times, before the plague, before everyone just stopped going, our histories tell of a ritual called the morning commute. When thousands of people in thousands of cars would glide into that vast downtown island, towering and gleaming above the surface of the earth like some desert mirage. But it was very real. It was where we spent the very real hours of our very real lives. Where we shat and ate and occasionally died. Clockwork, every day, rain or shine, we shuttled in and out like ants to a hill, our will wrought by working as parts to a whole. And somehow, someway, though this nebulous whole left all in want of more, we were rewarded: change for a life tendered and the chance to do it over again tomorrow."

for some a world icon, for others a daily commute perhaps to work or home.

this morning while driving to a late appointment, i drove through the park and saw the most breathtaking forest with what must have been about 180 degrees worth of rays breaking through the fog forest trees, sprinkling its spotted light onto the ground below. sooooo wonderful and encompassing but unfortunately i could not stop for it but boy did it make my day seeing it!!!
Being an early commuter myself this given morning - I was looking for that individual in context with the light the framing to show the journey.
The Salish as she head towards Vashon Island for yet another evening commute. This is the only way to get to this lovely island. I was shooting flowers earlier and playing around hand held at higher ISO's here for kicks while the Tamron 90 was still on there. I consider this a fantastic evening in the NW when it is not raining or blowing.
I used an AF fine tune value of -4 for the flower close ups but backed it off to -1 for distance here which still might not be quite right. Mirrorless bodies eliminate that stuff I think since focus info is taken directly off of the sensor rather than relying on a secondary AF system for viewfinder focusing that has to be calibrated. Looking forward to new mirrorless releases from Nikon and Canon both later this year.

It is interesting that there is evidence of humans on the island 12,000 years ago. I wasn't one of them but feel like it sometimes. Thank you for your warm and kind visits my friends! :)

I like plumbing around in my Lightroom catalog.
Here's one from 2017 using that "special" 10-18mm on a full-frame camera. What makes it "special" is that if you set the camera to full frame then, without vignetting or cropping, you can get roughly 12-16mm at FF megapixels & DoF.
It's always awesome when I'm driving home and I hit the bend just before the Waldo tunnel and see the low marine layer. Today there was just the tip of the Pyramid showing. It's doubly awesome when I have my gear in the trunk too!

Evening commuter service (29000-class) to Maynooth reflecting the setting sun. Taken on the Maynooth side of Blakestown Cross (Deey Bridge), along the banks of the Royal Canal.
A modified 2005 Gary Fisher Tassajara mountain bike. In three months, I've logged over 500 commuting miles in San Antonio with this bike saving 42 gallons of gasoline and about $53 a month (based on my gas-guzzling F-150 pickup).
The joys of commuting after the switch to daylight saving time: seeing the sun rise without getting up at ass-o'clock :)
A nice foggy morning at golden hour will eventually turn in to a warm spring day.
... some denizens of the underground. In spite of the loud sound that my camera's shutter makes, I sometimes attempt to take shots of people at closer range. In this case, it made that man look towards me, which made the photo more interesting ...
can be fun!
It may just take a little longer than usual. Taken on my way back home from the Kindergarten. Pulling the Burley bike trailer with the two cubs was kind of adventurous though as some roads were not yet cleared after yesterdays 15cm snowfall.
Final I could make proper use of my all-new winter tires (feels like a fatbike already)!
