Cycling home from Wapping to Walthamstow after a nightshift. A glorious crisp morning and sunrise. Pity I didn't have my compact Canon with me.

“Home” reveals that over the last 60 years, the world’s population has tripled and continues to grow exponentially. An example is Shenzhen, which just 40 years ago was a small fishing village, but today hosts millions of inhabitants and hundreds of skyscrapers.
Due to increasing populations, nature is continually destroyed for the development of new roads. As a result, when cars begin to drive on these roads it continually impacts the environment. Although attempts have been made to preserve nature and it’s forests, the attempt is still minimal compared to the amount of nature, our most vital resource, that we destroy. Everyday when people commute in their cars it pollutes harmful emissions into the air, which are produced from the car’s burning diesel and petrol. A short-term possibility to alleviate this issue is through the development of electric cars. In the movie, "Who Killed the Electric Car", it claims that the electric car had already been developed in 1996, but the idea had been put down due to the remaining profitability within the oil industry, with over a trillion barrels of oil untapped within the earth’s crust, as of 2006. The benefits of electric cars are priceless. Such benefits include, but not limited to, less air pollution, quieter vehicles, and lower costs to operate. However, some obstacles may interrupt the development of electric cars such as higher technological costs, which may dissuade consumers from buying such vehicles, range problems off a full charge, and the difficult task of developing charging stations. In the textbook, "Essential Environment", it suggests the possibility of the development of hydrogen fuel with electricity. Although, this is a far-reaching possibility for the future, hydrogen could alleviate the dependence on fuels and help prevent climate change, since the vehicle’s exhaust would be water vapor.
With me wearing my headlamp and Kiyomi wearing her reflective collar with LEDs flashing, we took a long walk from our house to the park, ran offleash for a while, and walked back.

When skies turned undulatus asperatus-y early this evening! Very interesting formations here indeed. We were getting in on the tail end of a passing weather system around this time so it won't be surprising if we do get some rain sooner or later. Gotta love skies like this indeed! Pics taken from around Fremont, CA while along I-680 SB during me and my mom's commute home from work. (Tuesday early evening, February 24, 2026)
*Asperitas (formerly undulatus asperatus) is a rare, officially recognized cloud formation characterized by dramatic, wavelike, and turbulent structures resembling an agitated ocean surface from below. First added to the International Cloud Atlas in 2017, these usually harmless, dark, and moody clouds often appear following convective thunderstorm activity, particularly in the Plains states of the U.S. These clouds are generally found in the mid-to-lower levels of the atmosphere, typically between 2,000 and 8,000 feet.

The clouds clear, the sun shines, the sign says Morecambe, only 10 more minutes before I'm home. Thanks to the holiday traffic it will have taken me nearly twice as long as the usual hour or so to make the journey. We've traveled a little over 50 miles and covered almost the entire length of the historic county of Lancashire. My 2001st commute home has, like most of the previous 2000, been uneventful but I find they're preferable to the eventful ones. It wasn't so bad, a boring couple of hours, sure, but at least it's summer and I was driving in daylight. The winter drives in darkness and bad weather are a real pain. Thanks for traveling with me, I don't think I'd have made it without you ;-)
