19 December 2017. Revisiting and looking more carefully.
My first observation: compared to photos on 10 and 20 November on 19 December 2017 the temporary metal fence was set further back and less of an obstruction.
My last trusty WTB SST had been dissolving beneath me, so after finding out the Selle San Marco Rolls and I didn't get along, I dug out an old Wright saddle which my father-in-law found in his garage. It was in reasonably sad shape, but with a little bit of Proofride, it snapped back to attention. The wings have flared out a bit too much, so (if I don't replace it soon), I may have to do the drill & lace.
Nice to have a saddle with actual bag loops, though - puts the banana bag in a slightly better position.
Is this West Yorkshire Metro's worst, temporary bus stop!!
Vandalised, with half the sticker missing, if you were on your own, standing here, you'd be lucky if the driver saw you. It doesn't inspire confidence amongst prospective travellers to wait here!!
Long talked about, controversial, previously crooked, Muni is now getting down to work on how to build a subway directly from Caltrain to Union Square and Chinatown along Fourth Street.
If we're still in the same office in a few years, it should be fun to watch the construction.
In early November we made a very special trip in the mountains as we walked 2 hours in the dark and then spent the night in a so-called "cave hotel". Ther are 3 such places in the Bükk, all of which were converted into basic shelters by enthusiastic hikers decades ago. This one is now in very good condition and as the weather was fine, we really had no problems at all.
November elején egy nagyon különleges kirándulást tettünk a hegyekben. Először gyalogoltunk pár órát a sötétben, utána pedig egy barlangszálláson aludtunk (Háromúti). Három ilyen van a Bükkben, mindegyiket lelkes természetjárók alakították át egyszerű szálláshellyé évtizedekkel ezelőtt. Ez a barlang most nagyon jó állapotban van, és mivel az idő is nagyon jó volt, semmi problémánk nem volt, nagyon jól éreztük magunkat.

I have a wicked nesting urge, I tell you what. When I went away with the Ramps I set up camp in the dormitory part of the girl guide camp. While they made music I sat here with Kristeva making knowledge. Knowledge is cool, right?
There are gas works near our house, rendering the bus stop out of use. This is the professional temporary bus stop that's been set up
I was toying with light blanching an dthe effects of shadow. I really love how these shots came out. He's forcing himself not to squint just so that you know you have his full attention. Now whatr' you gonna do...

Is there room to widen pavements? Separate cycle lanes would be good, but is there room? And note how the tram, when it comes along, blocks buses in at bus stops (the tram being far longer than any bus). Does that mean buses should be moved to George Street and more room made for cyclists? (That would mean no temporary closures of George Street during festival periods, winter or summer.)
Edinburgh's City Centre Retail Core Supplementary Guidance proposes to improve the experience for people visiting the heart of the New Town to spend time and shop. The ambition is that people on foot, bike and public transport will have true priority over vehicles.
The proposals include:
• Wider pavements, quality surfacing and public seating;
• Pedestrian priority at crossings;
• Inclusive design and disabled parking provision;
• New cycle infrastructure
• Stronger links to Princes Street Gardens, St Andrew Square and Charlotte Square; and
• Improved public transport stops and journey times.
Edinburgh City Council is revising its existing City Centre Retail Core Supplementary Guidance and is seeking views on the proposed changes. You have until September 20th 2019 to comment.

This dock leads to an islet [it's what the sign said 0.o] but it was temporarily closed! ): I remember this it was pretty sweet to be standing on an island looking at an island...
I spend much of my time exploring the countryside surrounding my home deep in Northamptonshire.
These highly individual and unique landscapes are my interpretation of the wetlands, forests, valleys and public footpaths of this ‘forgotten’ shire. Northamptonshire is place steeped in history and beauty, which I have accessed in order to create these paintings. The acrylic compositions are sometimes representative of real places but are also distillations of memories and ideas about what a landscape means to me.
I work by developing ideas in a sketchbook and taking photographs before moving onto canvas or specially prepared papier-mâché, impasto surfaces. Although my ideas are planned in a sketchbook – colours, textures, patterns and successive layers occur in a natural, intuitive way. This reflects the idea of a journey or walk through a landscape observing the sights around you. Every following visit adds a new layer to the aesthetic.
Through repeated visits to areas of special interest and then making artworks about them I have become more fascinated and inspired by their beauty. The works focus on how the countryside evolves and is shaped by human action through time.
As with many of my contemporaries my interests and concerns also lie with the state of the environment. The pollution of the environment and the disappearing countryside are elements, which can overwhelmingly seem out of normal peoples control. For this reason the paintings can be seen as memories or fading dreams of lands without roads, noise or other pollution. But I hope that these landscape paintings represent an optimistic reminder of natural beauty in the world that makes us feel free and truly ourselves.
