Default on my way home from work

I took these with my little casio compact on the way home from work. My bike is made of iron and I live at the top of a mountain six miles away from where I was delivering. Hence getting off for a breather to take some pics!

I love the second picture, and the primary swan(?) almost looks like a statue--it isn't one, is it?

Nice captures Chell I love the second shot, but then again I'm a bike fan That bike sure looks sturdy, strange to see that it doesn't have a top tube. What were you delivering?

Cool nice geese
It must be cool to be a rural postie, don't like the look of the hills though, reminds me of my legs turning to jelly while caining my bike around the lower hills and valleys of Dartmoor

Nope it's not a swan its a goose, like the one that lay the golden egg! If only that were true! Would stop the bank manager asking me why I NEED another lens!

I was delivering in a village called HOPE. They're all very nice up there. Always make me cups of tea and bacon butties in the Winter when I'm frozen! But its five or six miles home all up very steep hills with only three gears. I have legs of iron!

Ah see, you must be one of these lucky people who never grew up further than age six so you still love riding your bike. I envy you, I just get red, hot and wobbly! Going to work is fun though, freewheel all the way!
