Our Creator sure knows how to paint a sky!

Beautiful... wish I had skies, and roads, like that by me. What do you call that road? And it looks like where you ride your bike. Nothing like that here or I'd still be riding.

It's called the Prairie Grass Trail. 12.5 miles end to end. Used to be just a dirt track maintenance road for the power company. Then the two local towns got a grant and paved it.

This is one I took last year at my work - I walked out and locked the door behind me and turned around and was like holy moly. For a second I though the distribution facility in the distance was on fire, but it was just the universe saying hello. I walked out at exactly the right time to see it!

Maybe it's just me, but the hair on the back of my neck stands up just looking at that picture of a trail under transmission lines! The fields off of those wires can probably excite a florescent light tube if someone holds it up in their hands.....

eugenebmw · 09-16-2024, 02:09 PM

Simple life, wonderful life. Just need to appreciate everything from the Mother Nature.

And wants you to acknowledge His handiwork so he can supercharge yours.

Wifey was talking about that last night during our walk. The main issue I have with the wires are the small pieces that occasionally fall off, especially after a storm. About the size of a normal paper staple and lethal to bike tires. I've had four flats this year on the trail.

Well that’s a bummer. What do you do then? Fix the flat or walk home. How far is your home from that trail?

The last flat didn't show itself until I got home. The one before that I repaired on the trail. The one before that, I was able to get back to the car on a mushy tire and then stop at the LBS to get it fixed. I've had Wifey come get me in the past. At its closest point, the trail is 2 miles from my house.

M_Six · 09-16-2024, 05:16 PM

In the past, I was seriously into sunset photography. Haven't done much of it the last few years.

Remains of the Day

freakystyly · 09-21-2024, 08:31 PM

I can't take credit for this but will anonymously on the internet...

It's on my route to work according to the photographer. Taken a day or two ago.

hubbahubba · 09-21-2024, 11:49 PM

Even in an urban setting it’s beautiful.

Ever see the movie Eagle Eye? I wouldn't walk under those power lines!

eugenebmw · 09-27-2024, 02:20 PM

That is why it called beautiful British Columbia

Been riding under them for years.

No effect, effect, effect on me at all.
