OT GESO: bike ride on a foggy day (3 photos)

so i got my custom steel bike a month or so back and have been riding it quite regularly. a few photos taken during today's long ride, taken with my cell phone. it was an unually foggy day and, unusually, it remained like that till about 8 am (i start my long rides 4.30-ish :))

NOT HAPPY!

Baxter the cat jumped off my shoulder onto my desk and knocked a full cup of coffee over into my keyboard. She's gone off to sulk because she didn't like being scooped up and moved out of the way so I could try to dry the keyboard with towels. Cat's alright (other than some hurt feelings) but

A slightly taller tripod & a step stool/step ladder to stand on might help to ensure the back row people can't hide behind the front row people. On 1/13/2018 16:48, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Occasionally I am asked to take a group photo. Every time I am choosing the best (or even usable) photo
