Down

This mornings ride yielded a few interesting moments.

My mate christened his new bike with its first ride, and first crash.

But this photo is just of a small jump on the downhill section. Quite a lot of fun.

That is all.

Windbag

The plan for today was to wake up early, pack the car, pick up a mate, and head up to Lancelin for some proper surf. However, a quick check at 4am revealed the wind was already howling onshore, absolutely destroying what little swell was floating around.

So instead, the full moon gets all the glory. Just as the sun was about to wake up, the moon (a blue one at that) gets all the glory.

Four fried chickens

Macro time, because I know you really don't want to see another dodgy night-landscape.

So here you go.

Murky

Yup, playing with new toys again. This is either a shot of some ghosts having a great time in my back room, or I've been possessed and have managed to somehow transpose the sum of my knowledge into a picture.

Cause and

Tonight it was a bit of a rush job, but bugger it, it's my blog, I'll shoot what I like :P

So it's an interesting shot, created from a basic photo and too much time playing with the various options in GIMP. Ok, so two options in GIMP. But hey, it's my computerised abstract photo for the week.

Middle

Today's photo is a pretty good representation of my mood (and general thoughts) at the time.

It's a pretty stable and solid seat, with a good outlook on the surroundings, and out of the harshness of the sun. Which should make it a happy place to sit.

Except it's empty. No-one wants to sit on it, or near it, or have anything to do with it.

When I look at this seat, I picture an old man sitting there, just watching the world go about it's business. Time passing slowly, until this seat is empty again, the old man a barely remembered piece of a familiar scene.

Post Haste

This shot will look a bit different to the others, mostly because it's been taken with my new toy. Shiny new (to me) action camera mounted on the bike.

This was really just a test shot to see what comes out, taken on my ride to the evening's sport. It is cheating slightly though, as a shot is taken every 2 seconds, and I just pick the best one....
