The Beast at Rest

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 19 July 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

There's a reason I'm not taking pictures on the subway during these warm months. I present: the monster.

High-res here.

Love it! This image would definitely be enhanced by a matadore with a red cape! :-)

@Stu: Thanks, Stu! Sounds apt. 'Death in the afternoon' (for the matador, that is).

Judging from the height of your bars and seat I'm guessing you're part of the 'limited stature sect'. ;)

That aside, the two-wheeled beast has always been a welcome sight for my eyes and I'm happy to welcome anyone like-minded enough to join me in the land of multiple-geared cyclic heaven.

And now for a comment about the photo: It's a perfect composition of light and shade with a balanced blend of shadows and lines. What more could a budding photographer-cum-cyclist ask for? Great work, Damon.

@Sash: Since you noticed, I'm guessing you're part of the how's-the-weather-up-there set. Thanks, Sash!
