How much do you see?

My commute starts in a lovely tree lined residential area, after a couple of miles of that I roll into the bike lanes at the university. I pass a farm, some horticulture greenhouses, a few college dorms (lots of dodging sleepy students), some odd art pieces that look like ten foot tall paper wads (painted neon yellow/green/orange), then I rise by the observatory and finally into the bike lot at the main library. A nice 4 mile ride.

This is where I work:


This where my bike lives during the day:

That's a great idea! I think I'll take pics of my commute one day.

I was just scrolling down and thought "That's just like...!" and then thought "of course it is..." and looked to see it was your post .
Of course, the art pieces would have been a *dead* giveaway

I see what she sees for a little bit... then I go four more miles west through the treelined residential stuff on the *other* end of town, past my bike shop if I go that way, and out to the college, where I'll ride around and around if I have time.
I *don't* ride on the bike path where it goes through the bus stop near that library but I like those bike lanes on the road behind it (which they promise they will resurface soon).

I wish it were lighter on my commute these days, because the valley is soooo pretty! I live on the east side of a valley running north-east of Oslo, and on my normal commute I cross the valley to get to a bike path running fairly high up on the west side. It's cold here now, around 10F, so looking east I see trees covered in hoarfrost against a beautiful blue-black sky, that lightens to the softest bluish gray. The hoarfrost is from the fog that forms above the river at night, so while most of the valleyside is outlined in white, the trees on the horizon make this lovely contrast line in black.

Have to see if I can snap some photos today, I'm taking the day off.

I posted a few photos over on the "shooting for 7500"-thread, of my commute in this morning. Figured since I already have a looky-me-thread I might as well fill er up
