Calling all POTN commuters!!!

Inspired by this morning's drive I thought it time to start a new photo-challenge-type thread, the aim of which is to make use of that most hideous waste of our lives.....COMMUTING.

So, if you drive/walk/cycle/bike/​train to work every day, post your pics here!

My suggestion is that we/you carry one zoom, or two primes (max) and see what we/you can capture that'll add to your photo skills, and reduce the time wasted.

So, here's my starter:
It's still rainy season here, but I saw these delightful kids on their way to Elementary school and happened to have my 100mm on my 30D.
Sooooooooooooooo cute!

Well I wasn't commuting. I was on vacation. But all else around me was commuting:

Thanks for adding Phil. Great action shot - love the feeling of motion.
And those kids look just as adorable as the ones here!

You guys are pulling my plonka right?

Ya telling me NOBODY has to commute to work and understands the great photo opportunities you're missing out on?

Come on!!! Ram an easy-to-carry lens on your camera and take it with you today/tomorrow!!!

Is that a private jet, Jay?

Actually, if it is, I don't wanna know!

At the end of my commute in Shibuya, Tokyo - looking back at everyone coming out of the subway.

Not just NO but HELL NO...

Actually, I only have to deal with that view twice more and then my view will look more like this when I get back to private flying next week!!

Fantastic pic there! Love it.
And I like the B&W too. Simplifies what is probably pretty bright and distracting colours.

Being a "floppy" pilot (paragliders!) I forget that you boys need to use those long black things for take-off and landing.
But seriously Jay....WOW!
Lovely picture, though not somewhere I'd like to miss-shoot a landing!!!!!

Thanks mate - the mural is a bit blurry but what can you do with a longish exposure handheld!

The mural looks great in colour - it depicts a person being hit by an atomic bomb. Painted by Taro Okamoto (Ashta no Shinwa)

What a happy, jolly theme to welcome foreigners to the Land of the Rising Sun!

Wondabyne - a community that has no road access and has a single carriage train station across the water.

Sounds like either a dream place to live or........somewhere with serious "Stephen King" potential!!!
Great pics and thanks for sharing.

That's FANTASTIC!

Seriously man, thank you for taking and posting such an exceptional shot!
