... some denizens of the underground. In spite of the loud sound that my camera's shutter makes, I sometimes attempt to take shots of people at closer range. In this case, it made that man look towards me, which made the photo more interesting ...
Cycling no matter the temperatures. Finally it was significantly below 0°C this morning. On my way back home we were at 0.5°C again. But it's getting warmer soon anyways.
Shot without tripod and stabilized only by the handrail of the bridge. Edited the JPG on my Smartphone with LR Mobile.

"Evening Commute 1:" As I was shooting the sunset, I noticed some black birds flying together above the boulders. I quickly adjusted my camera settings to capture them. This photo and the following are taken minutes apart, with 2 different groups of birds flying across the view.
Den Haag HS railway station
Den Haag HS (The Hague HS), an abbreviation of the original name Den Haag Hollands Spoor (The Hague Holland's Rail), is the oldest railway station in The Hague, Netherlands. It was opened in 1843, when the Amsterdam–Haarlem railway, the oldest railway line in the country, was extended to The Hague. This line was further extended to Rotterdam in 1847. The railway station was named after the Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij, the company which operated the railway station.
Rival company Nederlandsche Rhijnspoorweg-Maatschappij opened a second main railway station in The Hague in 1870, Den Haag Rhijnspoor, for the railway line to Gouda and Utrecht. This railway station was demolished in 1973, to make way for the Den Haag Centraal railway station. As a result, The Hague has two main railway stations: Central Station and HS. Trains from Amsterdam to Rotterdam and beyond (Brussels) tend to stop at The Hague HS, whereas trains from Utrecht and, eventually, the German border usually stop at the Central Station.
The original railway building of 1843 was replaced by the current building designed by D.A.N. Margadant in 1891. A Royal Waiting Room was opened in 1893.

Gare de La Haye (Hollands Spoor)
La gare de La Haye Hollands Spoor (en néerlandais : Den Haag Hollands Spoor), dite aussi La Haye HS (en néerlandais : Den Haag HS), est la plus ancienne gare ferroviaire néerlandaise de La Haye. Elle est l'une des deux principales gares de la ville avec la gare centrale de La Haye.
Histoire
La gare est mise en service en 6 décembre 1843 avec la plus ancienne ligne de chemin de fer des Pays-Bas entre Amsterdam et La Haye via Leyde. Le premier bâtiment voyageur construit est l'œuvre de l'architecte F.W. Conrad, pour la compagnie Hollandsche IJzeren Spoorweg-Maatschappij, l'entreprise donne son nom à la gare. Vers 1888 un nouveau bâtiment, de style Néo-Renaissance, est mis en construction, en remplacement de la première gare, par l'architecte Dirk Antonie Nicolaas Margadant, il est ouvert en 1891.
Le bâtiment de 1891 est rénové en 1907. Après un nouveau chantier de rénovation à la fin des années 1980, la gare est en partie détruite par un incendie. Le bâtiment actuel est celui qui est restauré, reconstruit et mis en service aux débuts des années 2000.
Desserte
La gare est desservie par les trains grandes lignes de la société des chemins de fer néerlandais (NS, vers les grandes villes des Pays-Bas, notamment Amsterdam et Rotterdam. Elle est également desservie par les lignes internationales, notamment vers la Belgique et la France.

Simplified the scene to the most dominant colours - vibrant and warm - a routine scene of a commuter waiting for the doors to open on the London Underground
In 1989 I was living in Alameda, California and commuting to San Francisco by bus. When the Loma Prieta earthquake shut down the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge a new ferry service became my commute. This photo is a dawn scene from the ferry in the Oakland Estuary after leaving Alameda, showing a tugboat and the massive cranes at the Port of Oakland. This is a scan from an old Kodachrome slide.
