searching for perseids
I tried to capture some of the Perseids show tonight. I saw one meteor and train, but the glow of the clouds drowned it out. Hopefully I’ll get another chance tomorrow night…

5000km
I passed the 5000km mark for distance ridden since Jan 1, 2009 this morning as I rode through Scenic Acres before sunrise.
it was tricky to get this shot – a 30s long exposure – without a tripod. I used the rear rack of my bike, with a glove propping the camera into roughly estimated position. It’s hard to aim a 50mm lens accurately by guessing (I couldn’t see through the viewfinder because the saddle was in the way…)
