Came across this bombed-out car in the upper Woodland Park parking lot near the dog park. Felt very #Seattle to me. #photography #photog #photo #mywork (Original)






Really excited for SDOT to finally open the new protected bike lane that will finish the outer loop around Green Lake for cyclists! (Original)

Oh, and I got a Specialized Phenom for this bike since I know that saddle works for me and has enough setback. #cycling #bicycle #seabikes #Seattle

And get rid of noise... that tool i know is capable to reduce that (DxO PhotoLab 6 Elite) is Windows/Mac platform. There are other but for me that tool works.

Darktable can denoise, but it has its limits. If the denoise filter is applied too strongly, textured stuff looks too smooth.

I very much prefer roads that don't have such kind of "bicycle infrastructure", for various reasons. See for example the roads I used on my bike ride yesterday.
2022-10-30: Bonn→ Vischel → Scheuren → Bonn by road bike.










You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round…

Oh, the weather outside is smoggy,
And the fumes make me feel groggy.
The oxygen count is low.
Where to go, where to go, where to go?
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And my brain just feels like popping.
Smoke is here, and so
Where to go, where to go, where to go?

It's a puzzlement. And here's my advice to you: If you want to live, don't breathe! That's what I call ecology.

Saw this while out today. #Seattle

A middle-aged lady driving a brand new Mercedes with the bumper sticker "PNW Luxury Vehicles" flipped off the teachers striking in front of the local high school while stopped at a red light then started driving off only to realize the light was still red. She then shouted something at them that I couldn't discern. #

I understand the whole "you should've gotten a better paying job if you wanted better pay," but somebody has to teach the kids.
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

If teachers aren't paid enough to live a decent life, do they think we will attract top quality teachers?

You invest in what matters to you, and children are our future. If a society isn't willing to invest in the education of it's children. It doesn't value it's future.




Someone's setting off fireworks on the street at 5:30 AM. #




People are panicking about the # heatwave, but I haven't had much issue with exercising outdoors in heat worse than this around here. Today's afternoon # ride was quite pleasant. # #

That said, I'm reasonably fit and young, so I don't have to be as careful. Definitely applying sunscreen, though!


People are already launching fireworks. #




# has had electric vehicles plying its roads for over 80 years. Why is it taking so long for most of the rest of the US to catch up?


#Seattle Parks and Recreation seems to be doing something to Woodland Park lately. I saw the shelters torn down and rebuilt. #cycling #bicycle #seabikes (1)


A dehumidifier is helping quite a bit with the recent # weather.


Went on an enjoyable yet rigorous #bicycle ride this morning, following a loop I always enjoy. Despite snacking on an energy bar in Lake Forest Park, I ended up bonking while riding through Lake City, so I had to stop at the Metropolitan Market in Laurelhurst. Since the energy bar didn't help, I thought to try a sugary sports drink for a quick boost, and it certainly did the trick! I guess that's why they contain so much sugar, since a low calorie drink wouldn't be so helpful when running low on energy. #cycling (Album)

While out, I noticed several booths for #BikeEverywhereDay scattered about, which was pretty cool. What was less cool was that the Burke–Gilman Trail was being blocked off in the University District, and I'm still not sure why. #seabikes #Seattle

Checked out the partially gravel #bicycle route along the shore of Union Bay yesterday. The relative quiet and scenery were quite nice! #cycling #seabikes (Album)

While riding back home through Fremont, I saw that the #Seattle Fire Department was fighting a fire in an old house a little up the hill, which explained the smell of smoke everywhere. I asked my local bike shop about it and they said that it was a training exercise paired with a controlled demolition.

@clover let me have her old Garmin Fenix 5 since she hadn't used it in quite some time. Been wearing it on my #bicycle rides and when sleeping to keep track of various biometrics. #cycling #fitness
