To brighten things up a bit here’s one of the commute photos I posted on my Facebook page earlier this month. I’m not a bullet bike fan, but the color combination of the green against the red is fab.
Canon G11 does color well.

The whole shootin’ match.
Hit or miss
Sometime “hit and run” commute photography is hit or miss. I couldn’t get close enough to what I wanted to shoot, and because I was on the verge of conspicuously trespassing (at 2:45 in the afternoon!) I only snapped a few shots and fled the scene. This is a concrete plant out on the edge of the bay in Redwood City. Because of the starkness of the train and structures I chose to desaturate the images about 50%:

Painting out the haze
Seems like it has been months since we had a really clear day in the SF Bay Area. During the harsh light hours of the hazy summer afternoons when I’m commuting home the landscape views have been anything but inviting. But I’ve taken shots, and for fun I gave these two a kind old print look:

The end of the road
I chose B&W for this two image series because of the theme–the end of the road. Taken literally and figuratively the phrase can have very different connotations. It can mean this:
or this:

The wee hours
I get up at 3:30 AM every work day. I’m on the road at 4:00 for my 65 mile drive. Yes, it’s surreal. My only stops are either for gas or to get some cash at an ATM. My ATM stop is on Taraval Ave. just off 19th. This is what it looks like at 4:50 AM:
