The View from My Handlebars 12.12.12

This image was taken at around 5pm this evening while on my way to the health club. It is at the intersection of Allen and Elmwood in Buffalo, just around the corner from where I live and my favorite section of the city. It was/is a crisp cold evening with nary a breeze in the air; after working all day rushing around a busy kitchen it felt good--really good-to be out in the open air...it felt good to be on a bike. As I straddled my bike waiting for the traffic light to change, I was taking in the sounds and sensations of the evening...the air on my face, the sounds and smells of the traffic. And I took out my pocket point-and-shoot to snap a couple pictures...to capture it. And I thought I'd share.

Urban Simplicity.
