Cycle-City Miscellany

I had an hour to kill in Cambridge yesterday so I decided to take some photos:

It's hard not to take photos of the bikes.
A bit of a cliche maybe,
but I like bikes!


Trinity College Chapel
photographed through not one,
but two, windows of distorting glass.


A couple of rather serious-looking buskers.


Lately I keep wanting to crop photos
 in unusual ways.
I like the incongruity
 of the half-timbered architecture
and
the Spanish Tapas Bar.


Oops! Nearly deleted this -
lots of reflected light caused
by shooting through the bar window.
But then I realised that with a bit
of sepia toning it created the smokey atmosphere
of an old pub.


Oh no! More bikes!


Take care.

  3. love the photo thru the crinkly glass panes--
    when you said "Bike City" I clicked to read because I remembered all the bikes in Cambridge from my visit there about 6 years ago---fond memories

  4. Good use of a spare hour John. I love Cambridge - my daughter was at uni here and I much enjoyed my visits.

  5. Many thanks for all your kind comments. I'm always amazed that even after a lifetime living around Cambridge I still keep finding new trhings to point the camera at.
