More Life at 12 MPH . . .

Seeing the world at 12 mph makes it much easier to stop and gaze. In the past while driving that might have meant I was wasting time because I needed to be somewhere else . . . soon. The minute or two that I can spend looking at something or taking a picture is time well spent.

Today, I stopped and looked at these . . .

That Tree Over there
Solitary trees, especially are compelling to me; simultaneously powerful and alone.

That Chimney
Remnants of the past can be small, visual treasures.

A Few Things I Saw While Riding Today

For most of my life I watched the world from the driver's seat of a car. For the past few years I have been seeing the world from my seat astride a bike. It's life at 12 MPH and one of the things that is easier to do is stop and see things even more closely.

I went riding in the countryside outside G'ville to day and here are some of the things I saw.

Look at the handlebars on that dude!
Does it matter whether stripes are fattening or slimming?
