I'm afraid our time is up

The photographs were taken on September 18th.

Today was a moist day, and the road surface was wet when commuting by bicycle. So far this year I have got 5313 km riding the bicycle.

You come to my eyes like a vision from the skies

The photographs were taken at Sipoonkorpi National Park on September 17th.

I got three hours of exercise today. I'm feeling rather tired.

I had planned to use songs pointing to the swindler, liar, xenophobe, racist, and misogynist (i.e., Trump) as source of the titles for the postings on this blog for the next four weeks, but today I made an exception.

You had one eye on the mirror

The photographs were taken on September 17th at Sipoonkorpi.

For tomorrow morning the weather forecast promises -1 °C. For the bicycle commute I have been wearing thin overshoes, which should be good until -5 °C, but soon I need to change to the thicker ones, which are good until -15 °C. Last year I started using studded winter tires in November, and that should be a good plan also this year, provided the weather continues as dry as it has been.
