I don't know about my timing, as I'm in the frame, but I kind like the high visibility pink jersey in the shot. I should have moved my bike to the centre to show the matching colour water bottles.
Our lunch stop in Smiths Falls is one of the best in the our cycling travels. Cheap, very good food, usually excellent service and they serve breakfast all day. My lunch was 2 eggs, bacon, toast and potatoes. Yummy!
On the way back, for the first time EVER we lost our GPS leader, Alex. Don't ask, as it's a long story and it involved 10km of gravel. We did end up finding him about an hour later.

Had I been late by a couple of minutes or positioned differently, I would not have been able to capture this. Indeed, everything is about the Perfect Timing.
Vietnam - Day 1 of 12, 10:26. In the floating village of Kenh Ga, where people row their boats with their feet, this 82 year old man gave us a magnificent demonstration of fishnet throwing.

I always have my camera on the seat next to me, ready for anything! Today, I'm heading south on I-57, about to go under the KB&S former Big 4 viaduct, when I see the KB&S Kankakee turn headed to Kankakee. The odds were in my favor to capture this shot!

After letting a couple Z's around them, a westbound vehicle train throttles up at Edelstein just moments after the storms subsided and the sunshine returned. The timing was impeccable.
Anyone out there photographing trains wishes for the appropriate lighting conditions for their approaching subject. Having the sun shine on your subject can be a good a thing or a bad thing depending on many variables. I was happy to see the sun poke its nose up over the mountains on the east bank of the Hudson River as this train approached my perch.

“Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It's all about timing.”

And maybe soon there'll come a day
When no more tears will fall
We each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
It's just bad timing that's all

Good timing: after driving around Loch Rannoch we arrived at the well-known viewpoint (the outflow of the Annat Burn into the loch) to see the Moon rising beside Schiehallion across the water.
After weeks of effort, I finally got the shot I was after... entire windmill within the sun! I'm pretty happy with this one!
The morning I took this photograph was the same morning that my sister passed away. I find it to be quite interesting that I happen to take this shot around the same time of her leaving us, especially considering her beliefs.
Einstein predicted that time slows down the faster you travel and the time-dilation hypothesis has since been proven by flying atomic clocks on aircraft.
The three fastest human beings at the moment are NASA astronaut Anne McClain, Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques (pictured) and Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Kononenko who are orbiting Earth on the International Space Station at a speed of around 28 800 km/h.
They are travelling so fast that they will return home to Earth after their six-month spaceflight 0.007 seconds younger than if they had stayed with their feet on the ground.
But how do astronauts perceive time in space? Space Station crew report that time seems to speed up in microgravity so European researchers are trying to find out more by immersing astronauts in virtual reality and testing their reaction times.
A virtual reality headset is used to block external visual cues that could influence the results. The experiment focuses on how astronauts estimate time duration as well as their reaction times. They are asked gauge how long a visual target appears on screen. Their reaction times to these prompts are recorded to process speed and attention.
The astronauts run the experiment before flight, on the International Space Station and again when they land to compare results. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst was the first test subject to take part in this experiment in 2018. Anne and David did a session in February in ESA’s Columbus laboratory.
Understanding how time is perceived in space is important as astronauts are often required to conduct precision work where timing is everything. This research in microgravity will help reveal clues as to what helps keep our brains ticking the seconds accurately.

When I'm running late, I usually blame my "tardying angel" for throwing obstacles in my way, but maybe should blame Murphy's Law from my Murphy bed for bed timing.
This is a spring from the retracted bed, for FlickrFriday's "Timing" and Macro Mondays' "Spiral" challenges.

And, GOTTA go LARGE
Driving along down I-15 south towards St. George, Utah, I hoped to be able to get some good shots of the sunset. At the time I mentioned this out loud, there were thunderstorm clouds overhead, and so I didn't know if the sun would ever peek out. Luckily, we went to get some gas (and ended up not), but when turning back realized that the side road we were on offered the perfect view of a truly serendipitous moment for us; the sun had dropped below the ceiling of thunderheads and shot its last rays of the day through the gap between the clouds above and the mountains and horizon below. Lucky us.
We were at a spot where the guide was talking about bats.
"There aren't any here right now, but many overwinter in this section of the cave."
She went on to talk of the first explorer of the cave who when he came to this section in the gloom was suddenly touching soft fur instead of wet rock.
And then a bat flew by us to the amusement of some and the consternation of others.

On Friday 5/8/2022, 2M41s (ARTC rail train) is seen approaching Pinera station (Adelaide) with Rail First locos EL53-EL56 in charge. On an otherwise cold, wet & gloomy day, a lucky burst of sun came out when it mattered.

... and I just missed it.
For this weeks challenge, I have used 4 subjects that have previously been seen in other Flickr Friday challenges.. The reflected ceiling, the carpet, the camera and the clock... and rather than hide the camera and tripod... lets make it part of the image... it is after all 5 o'clock and I have other things to do...
At first glance it appears that 6A60, the 08:32 Whatley - Oxford Banbury Road might be composed of both box wagons and hoppers behind 66541. In actual fact, the hoppers belong to 6C42, the 09:00 Theale - East Usk Yard empties hauled by 66604 (which can be seen to the left of the tree on the left side of the frame.
Taken at Uffington, the 2 trains have just crossed and 6C42 has only just cleared in time
With some lucky timing, a GO train inbound to Toronto's Union Station meets a GO bus that's travelling west along the adjacent Gardiner Expressway. Even more surprising was that this train had a classic looking Series VIII cabcar on the end!
Some lucky timing meant I got to Seljalansfoss just as the sun was going down. The light catches in the waterfall making it glow bright pink for a few moments. I've had to tone down the colours in this photo because nobody would believe the actual colours were real. Breathtakingly beautiful in real life.
