In 2003 i've got a rebuilding on my flat. We've got a second elevator near my balkony. See the grey construction at the left.
(Place: Eindhoven - Woensel / Country: The Netherlands.)
Traffic Hanoi style! We had a great vantage point at the highland coffee shop (a favourite with tourists) where you could sit for hours and watch the apparent chaos. The strange thing is that it actually worked, everyone kept moving and we saw very few deaths;-)
It was a pefect morning for walking to work -- cold and crisp, but not brutal; frosty and scenic; with a lovely sunrise, and christmas decorations on the barns along the way. I love December!
And it was a great day, too. There's nothing quite like everyone getting out of work a bit early so we can get a jump on a much-anticipated normalizing weekend.
--Schn.
While sitting in traffic this morning, I noticed the shadow cast by the Comcast truck in front of me looked a lot like ... what? A growling dog? Godzilla? What do you think?
The "ears" are the rack on top of the truck and the "snout" is the ladder.
I was walking around my flat in 2003 and my eye catch this wonderfull composition. Reasons enough for me to make a capture of it. I made it B & W (Photoshop 7) , in colors it's also a wonderfull composition.
The mornings are starting to throw up some spectacular sunrises and I caught this one just outside Dorridge station this morning at 6.45am. A road leading to the sun with beautiful red stripes in the sky.
I love walking to work in this weather, but I hate how late the sunrise is. I have a choice of walking later than usual, and having to share the road with more cars and -- shudder -- school buses, or leave at my usual time and be sharing the road with fewer cars but before the sun is up. It's so hard being me. But it's also very pretty to be out before and during dawn, at least during the parts when I'm not afraid I'm going to get hit by a car.
--Schn.
I woke up one and a half stops before getting off to find that the metro was stalled due to signal problems. We were stuck there for about 10 minutes according to my playlist, and long enough for me to sketch this far.
This is what got me started in photography, I saw this every morning on my drive into London and knew where I needed to get to take a photo of it. It now hangs on a canvas in my house.

Multi-modal work commute, 12.55mi riding
Took the beater home this weekend for some drivetrain TLC. It needs more, but this is better than it has been in a long time.
Yes, that sign says 20 degrees and I was standing outside on the SI ferry. Anything for a pretty sunrise.
This hillside, near the intersection of PCH and Topanga, slid onto the highway during the winter of 2005, when Los Angeles got more rain than Seattle. After the worst of the mess was cleared away, work began on stabilizing the hillside. Drainage pipes were inserted into the hillside, to allow water to flow out without taking the soil with it. Now the hillside is being covered with fabric -- I'm not sure what kind -- to further stabilize the slope.
The final stage, I believe, will be to seal the slope with concrete. Several hillsides on PCH have already received this treatment. However, I noticed that at least one of them slid underneath the concrete this winter. Its covering is cracked and bubbled in several places, and vegetation is starting to work its way through.
