Like a dog looking for a place to sleep in

Street 1

Street 2

I commuted by bicycle once again, and even though it was wet I didn't get too wet.

I have got plenty of exercise during the last few weeks. In fact, there has been only one "rest day" within two weeks, last Tuesday when I commuted by car. During the weekends I have been walking, 3-4 hours during the weekend, and during the workweek I have got at least 1 1/2 hours on the bicycle each day.

But on August 11th I commuted by car, and took some photographs.

It rained today, but I commuted by bicycle. I'm still feeling not quite normal, but I haven't been coughing and sneezing quite so much as yesterday. However, I'm quite tired, having been up and going since 5:30 AM.

The photographs were taken on August 14th in Petikko.

The text in the photograph is in Finnish, meaning "dog skiing track", whatever that means. (I'm not a dog person.)

I haven't felt quite like normal, I have been coughing, and having a headache. Maybe I shouldn't commute by bicycle tomorrow.

I haven't got any information on when the LX100 which I preordered will be shipping. In any case, there are sample photographs available. Doesn't look bad at all.
