weariness in vision and written

click image to enlarge

as always commuting into the city confronts me with urban sceneries very different from what i would prefer to have as my surroundings. but in contradiction to the gut feeling i know that this tension presumably keeps my senses active and vigilant. but that morning i found the weather as grey as my mood, matching my weariness. and suddenly the bike fragments in the frame seemed to match, too. and just as a note on the margin: these white on black letters on the right side read 'gegenwind', head wind, the natural adversary of each bike rider, and a major factor for weariness.

from the 'instead of eating burgers' series.

there is something to learn from this shot: either don't touch basic settings you rely on, or do a thorough checking at the beginning of each shooting session.

of course i did not, and so the first frames, this one among them, were shot as jpeg only, in small size...

fall is in town

suddenly summer is over. cold rain starts, and the snow suddenly is visible again not high above my hometown. strange feeling to operate the camera with wet, cold, unwilling fingers again.

used lightzone for linux to differentiate the sky and faint mountains.
