Sweat and photos

I rarely go out on a recreational ride without my camera (I also use my bicycle for commuting and going to the shops, that doesn’t count here, though). I manage around 2000km per year and the last time I took a photo of my odometer was a “Schnapszahl”, five ones. While I am at it I also take photos of my trusted steed, Wynona Rider, but she looks better if I crouch down a bit with gras in the foreground.

She also looks good from above.

This tower in the distance has been my destination a few times since it was built about five years ago. I could take the car but it is in range of Wynona and me.

Once there I had to leave her to climb up.

And this is one of the views 192 steps or 577+34 metres up.

And now for something completely different. To get photos of wild beasts in the bush or gardening experts checking on the local plants – you have to go down, creeking knees and all.

Two shots of Ned Flanders from the Simpsons that show the difference between bending down and going really low.

Wnyona will not be happy if I call her my hobby. She is a jealous mistress. As she proved when I cheated on her in Sardinia recently. Her revenge was swift. Ragtag Daily Prompt: Hobby

Our Kilometre-stone

Not a milestone, obviously. It happened on Friday.

Wynona came to live me in May 2020. We have since spent 10,000 km together.

On an unimportant aside: Wasn’t it so much more satisfying when we had those little mechanical clickety clack odometers? When the big number came closer and the little plates were all straining with anticipation to flip over and finally they did so with a satisfying little clack?

Long Days

The blue skies are starting to scare me but I also enjoy them and the time they give me to go out with Wynona.
