Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Been trying to get this picture for awhile. Finally arrived and there were no cars on it. Ignore the person walking on the right.

spruce street suspension bridge in the 92103 bankers hill area of san diego by balboa park. built in the early part of the 20th century. not exactly empty but the figures help to realize the sense of scale. an absolute blast to ride across. you feel the bridge sway more on the bike than on foot. it's about 100 yards across.

I take this shot a lot. It's right in front of the house. On the left is our lower barn. On the right of the image you see a sliver of our upper barn. We have stereo barns, and the road cuts through our property.

I took a walk with my granddog, and we met a couple of horses who seemed glad to meet her.

Here's a series of photos I've taken during the Corona virus shutdown over the last week in central London. These locations are normally crowded with people and vehicles and I've never seen them so deserted before, and knowing I'll never see them like this again makes them even more surreal.

The Mall from Trafalgar Square to Buckingham Palace

Outside Buckingham Palace (the Queen is not in and has hot footed it out of town to one of her countryside castles, Windsor)

Birdcage Walk from Buckingham Palace to the Houses of Parliament & Big Ben

Westminster Abbey, Sanctuary House and the one with the flag is one of the towers of the Houses of Parliament

Piccadilly Circus

Oxford Street

Threadneedle Street

The Aldwych

This must look nice with snow on the ground.
