- Music: Broken Bicycles by Tom Waits
Broken bicycles, old busted chains
With busted handle bars out in the rain.
Somebody must have an orphanage for
All these things that nobody wants any more
September's reminding July
It's time to be saying good-bye
Summer is gone, Our love will remain
Like old broken bicycles out in the rain
Broken bicycles, don't tell my folks
There's all those playing cards pinned to the spokes
Laid down like skeletons out on the lawn
The wheels won't turn when the other has gone
The seasons can turn on a dime
Somehow I forget every time
For all the things that you've given me
Will always stay, there broken but I'll never throw them away
Songwriter: Tom Waits

The composition of this image was achieved IN CAMERA using an Apple iPhone 4S. Post capture processing was indeed done, but only involving the treatment of light and colour. By "breaking the rules" of the iPhone's panoramic function, the image can be skewed, splintered or fragmented into a multi-planarity that could, perhaps be called a form of "Millennial Cubism".

Do you still remember your first bicycle?
Last weekend I received this lovely bicycle as an early Mother's Day gift. It's been years since I've ridden a bike and since I'm a little behind on the SP Project, I decided to go up the street and zip about on it.*
True or false:
It's like riding a bicycle. You never forget. Sort of true. Balancing and pedaling came back immediately, but the hopping on and off and braking will take more time to master to ensure I don't endanger anyone or look like a complete fool.
According to a review, you can wear a dress when riding this bike. True, especially with the low step-thru frame. However a black skirt requires some 'hitching up' but is still quite comfortable and you retain your modesty at all times! :D
Melburnians only wear black in winter. Apparently this is still true. It's a long held view but in this case, I wore black to contrast with the surroundings.
It's ridiculously complicated to take a SP like this. True! There were 3 shots where I was actually in frame. They're all out of focus but at least you're unable to see the look of terror on my face! :D
I took this shot alongside a private residence at the end of my street. As I live in an older suburb of Melbourne, it's reasonably common to see old corner shops like this, usually attached to a smaller house, that have been renovated to become one single home. Notice the different brickwork where a doorway must have once stood.
The old bluestone edging along the road is a feature that has been retained by the local council. Many of the old laneways are still paved with their original cobbled bluestone. With residential development going crazy, it's nice to see these pieces of history retained.
* Safety first. I have a helmet but it wasn't featured here as I wasn't riding on the road and also, it's not very stylish.
Varsovia es una ciudad antigua que quedó casi completamente en ruinas después de la segunda guerra mundial. El gobierno decidió volver a construirla para simbolizar la resistancia de los polacos frente a cualquier opresión. El resultado es fenomenal. Tanto que hace unos años fue reconocido como patrimonio de la Unesco. Estábamos paseando por las fortificaciones cuando encontramos esta bicicleta azul, cerca de la terraza de un café (hay muchas bicis por Varsovia, pero he visto pocas de este color). Los puntitos de bokeh que se ven son los reflejos del sol de la tarde sobre tres vasos vacíos que quedaban allí en una mesa.
Just an afternoon of riding around with my lady, Tippy, on our bicycle.

This girl has style for miles with a bicycle T-shirt and some pretty futuristic looking pockets on her jeans besides. Bad-ass.
