@mamady.bsky.social You're really something else, aren't you? I put up this entire quiz for you. Where's your participation, Mamady? Really...🙄

It was 6.2km. Took the bike on the other work days 😇. I hitchhiked because it was such fun. Meeting all those sweet people, listening to their stories, making them smile, letting life happen ❤️. Hitchhiking, or life for that matter, is not only about getting from A to B 😉.

Good Morning!
I've seen fire, and I've seen rain

Good times and bad times, sunshine and rain, yin and yang, beauty in everything
#photography #landscape #sunrise #cloudscape #BaldKnob #gift #EastCoastKin

A gentle pink sunrise with soft, high clouds is contrasted by a low heavy cumulus not far above the sea, with a very obvious downpour falling from one section into the ocean. The sky overhead is blue and clear, and the plains below are still dark save for the shining patch of a large dam. A line of coastal lights marks the boundary between land and sea, and the whole image is heavily framed left and right by tree silhouettes. The rain will pass, and so will the sunrise, life is change, embrace the journey.

So, who's up for a little quiz about my 'hitchhiking to work'-data?

We know I got 166 lifts from 144 different drivers. So what do you think the gender ratio of the drivers was? How much percentage men vs. women?

PS= excuse the poor quality of the image 😬

Gender drivers: % men, % women, blanked out

I don't think many of you know, but I hitchhiked to work (6km) on a weekly basis for a couple of years. Just for fun. Met 166 strangers. All friendly, nothing scary (have heard all opinions on hitchhiking before, thank you 🙏). So a lot of stories and sweet memories. Hard to pick one🧵

A woman wearing a darkpurple skirt and blue jacket is holding up a cardboard to a passing by light grey car (Citroen Xsara), trying to hitchhike. She is wearing a bag on her left hip and light brown boots. There are trees in the background.

Good morning! Had a rather tough 11 miler today, had to walk a little bit towards the end but I made it! 🏃‍♂️‍➡️🌞

I didn't stop for many photos, but I did grab this one early on in the run. I liked the wispy clouds meandering about the sky.

A pre-sunrise scene over a lake, a treeline with houses runs across the center of the frame, above which are light oranges transitioning to darker blue as your eye moves up the sky. Several long wispy clouds make almost circular shapes in the sky. Below it all reflects on the lake's surface.

Good Morning!
Mooloolah Valley mist #8

A serene morning to you
#photography #landscape #scape #mist #mooloolah #BaldKnob #gift #repost #EastCoastKin

High view over a mist-shrouded valley, white mist contrasting with the dark treed ridges emerging from the flowing white river. On the distant horizon large massed cumulus over the sea are slowly lightening from gray as a faint apricot lights the sky behind them, while barely green silhouettes of nearby trees and shrubs frame the foreground.

Good morning☀️

I had a great time in #MackinawCity and the #MichiganUpperPenninsula, but now It’s good to be back and to be catching up with you and your lovely photos! Wishing you a beautiful Tuesday.

Sunrise on Lake Huron, October 2025. The sun sits just above the black water, encased in its yellow and orange corona; its light reflecting vertically in front of it. Orange sky spreads out horizontally from it. Above that is a blue sky with narrow horizontal strips of white and sunlit orange clouds, and above that is a dark layer of black and burnt orange clouds. In the foreground is a black jutting out from the lower right side to the left mid-ground, its left railing lit up in yellow and orange.

Lightning Storm Off the Coast of Mazatlan Mexico.

A powerful lightning bolt strikes the ocean under a dark, stormy night sky. The lightning illuminates the clouds and reflects brightly off the surface of the water, creating a dramatic scene over the sea.
