April 27, 2023. Just another dreary spring day commute. I spent the morning preparing all my slides for my presentation (I didn't even have time to join the strike over lunch) and then the presentation was postponed for a week. These things happen.

I don't work, so I don't have a daily commute. I did have to go out of town yesterday to Charlotte. This is my return trip back to my beloved mountains. It was a hazy day, but if you look hard you can see the mountains in the background.

i love my commute on a day like this. this vantage point of downtown is great with the rice hotel in the foreground and texaco heritage plaza in the right background.

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.

The first week of November is usually peak week for autumn color here in the city, and 2024 was no different. It's dark in the morning and evening when I usually ride to and from work, so it was fortuitous my water heater went out so I had to ride home at noon the next day to meet the plumbers, and I was able to record it.

 

This is the same commute home I recorded in May 2023, the day before my e-bike was stolen. But it's a far more beautiful ride in the autumn, and showcases one reason, at least, why Reno is such an attractive city to live in.

 

As you can see, my office is right on the Truckee River, and I ride the Tahoe Pyramid Trail, along the river, during half my commute. But even once you get away from the river, the city streets are lined with deciduous trees, blazing color and shedding leaves.

 

Re-uploaded on 24 November with the "cover image" added. Flickr uses the first frame of the video as a thumbnail, and when that frame is black it makes for a pretty uninteresting thumbnail. So moving forward I need to include making a screen grab and adding it as the first frame of the video as part of my video editing workflow.

 

The original video was uploaded on 8 November with a big black thumbnail. Since Flickr does not let you replace videos in a photo page the way you can replace photos, I had to delete the original once this new version was uploaded (the original had a comment and a fave, sorry about that).

Today classes started at the University of New Hampshire and Mel began his regular commute from Beverly, so I am posted this image in his honor. I took this photograph with my phonecam on one of our recent trips up there, and tonight I cropped the image to improve the composition. The commute to UNH takes you over several long bridges across some beautiful lakes that take your breath away. It's hard to get a good view from a moving car, but I keep trying: I open the window, I hold the cellphone outside the car as we are moving, I drive Mel crazy. I guess sometimes it's hard to have an artist in the passenger seat. . .

Mind the gap - taken from window and then rotated 180 degrees (Commute series 3/7)

The East Portlemouth to Salcombe ferry operates daily from 8am to 5.30pm. Even at the height of the morning rush hour, it's better than the alternative 20 mile trip by road.

I've been known to complain about my local subway system. But with gasoline prices headed sky high, and congestion on roads around the nation's capital considered among the worst in the nation, I keep riding.

 

Despite the delays, dicey air conditioning, and system breakdowns, more than 1.2 million people are using the system each day.

 

As a friend who works for the system told me last week, "if you don't like us, drive!"

Had to leave my bike at the office as my wife picked me up to grab dinner and didn't bring the bike rack. Commute only takes about 10 minutes longer on this beast, but I'll be able to tow the other bike home & pick up some bricks.

One of the waterways at Balboa Island and the million dollar houses that line it. Balboa Island, Two canoes are commuting I think? California, USA

I pass this place on my commute. It used to be called Joe's Junk and had lots of "antiques" scattered about along with these amazing bird houses. It's been cleaned up a bit over the last couple of years and the bird houses are the star attraction.

Trail sign offroad in my morning commute. My latest set!

I haven't posted for a while as everything has been so hectic recently, but I can assure you once the exam season is over there will be many many photos on the way.
