When I go to work I go by bicycle most of the times. It's nice to start and end the day with a bicycle ride. Being outdoors, exercising and clearing your mind with the views.
Unfortunately we're heading towards the shorter days of the year, so it won't be long until I will ride in the dark both to as back from the office 🥲
That's why I'm enjoying the morning rides a bit extra. I'm cycling during the golden hour which results in a couple of nice shots.
Most of the route I drive on long stretched roads without many cars. A large part of the route is even without cars.
But the cycling paths in The Netherlands are often quite busy as well with commuters and kids going to school.
I don't often see an empty road as you see in the photo above.
The meadows and canals along the route often have a layer of mist hanging over them in the mornings. With the sun in the background it creates a peaceful and serene vibe.
Unfortunately it is not always sunny as you can see on the photo below. On days where there is much fog, I really miss the warmth of the sun. The scene is more gloomy and spooky. It is cool to see the cycling path disappear in the background.
You can see a lonely cyclist in the distance.
I'm enjoying it while it lasts. In two weeks we'll have Winter Time, so the clocks go back one hour. I'd better start looking for my bicycle lights...
