Nathan,
Happy Summer! I enjoyed all of your images from this
posting, so thanks. I particularly liked the
composition of:

Just seemed well balanced to me.
One thing I've noticed in your cyclist photographs is
the lack of use of helmets. I guess we Americans are a
tad psycho (in this and many other ways), but we even
have laws here that make it a misdemeanor for any
child on a bike under 12 years old not to be wearing
one. Most adults were them religously, both to set an
example for our children and for safety (the true
story of a neighbor who rode down the block to get a
carton of milk, fell and hit his head on the curb
resulting in his death always is present in my mind).
Perhaps it's because our motorists are not as bike
aware as others or perhaps it's because we have more
motorists but I am always struck by your images where
there are children (as in your last link) riding
without a helmet. Obviously the majority of Europeans
are not as paranoid as us in my area of the woods.
Sorry for the OT Monday morning posting. I'll go drink
my coffee now. ;-)
Again, thank you for sharing your world with us
through these images and your words; always a
pleasure,
Bob
