Can I recommend the photos of a fellow on Flickr? He has the user name "Rob", and here is just one shot from his travels...

Beautiful work, @Johno59! I remember when those first showed up on "For the Love of English 3-Speeds"; and they definitely belong here.

Spring has made a preview appearance here this weekend, and it is Glorious! Thursday night I was running a fever of 102.7° (F), and I didn't feel up to riding yesterday either. It doesn't fit the Corona virus profile, nothing respiratory, or even gastro for that matter. My wife says probably Ebola, I hope she's wrong!

So today I ventured out with the bike in my new bike-hauler van, and rode around the parking lot of what used to be "Diamond Jim's" back in the day. Diamond Jim's



Today it is just another American ghost town, but a fascinating place for a photographer. After a few laps around the parking lot,I was getting a bit dizzy and sweaty. So I posed the bike for a few shots, and drove back home. When I am well again, I'll go back later in the day when the light is better, and shoot some more.





Rumor has it that this place is going to be torn down soon, probably this year. Better get it while the gettin's good.

The problem with threads like these is that they stick in the back of your mind, even when you're just out on a short shakedown ride ...

Ain't it the truth? I've just returned from a ride where I had to make a deliberate decision to leave the camera home, and just enjoy the ride. And you know what? I ended up regretting it, because I was constantly composing photos in my head. But at least now I have a sort of list of images to go after next time.

May I direct your attention to posts 342 and 343? I mean, yeah, I get what you're saying. I often feel constrained when setting up a shot because this drive-side thing has become such a "thing". But sometimes I just have to break that rule when lighting and composition call for it.
