Morning Star

[hoopdriver]

Here is a kind of stream of consciousness account of an early morning bicycle ride across the marshes on the Sussex coast that concludes with a photograph of Venus hanging low in the sky - a photo I hope you'll like.

Here it is:

Some years ago, I was part of the crew of the 'Grand Turk' (a replica sailing ship) I remember one morning when I was on watch at around 0400, Venus was low on the horizon and seemed almost as bright as the moon. It was a sight I will never forget.

That must have been beautiful.

When I see a photograph like that it makes me realise how lucky we are to be able to appreciate all the beauty that surrounds us everyday.

That is one of the beauties of cycling - it exposes you to so many things you miss when you are speeding along in a car. Since I started photographing for my blog I have found myself noticing even more things along the course of my rides. It has made me look and imagine and even old routes I had thought I knew back to front have been revealed to have so many interesting possibilities I'd never noticed before...
