Highland Bike

[bobzilla]

I was away camping in the highlands of Scotland a couple of weekends ago and we passed through Fort William and discovered it covered in spraypainted mountain bikes and wheels. Apparently it was for the world MTB championships the following weekend.

I found this one outside a souvenir shop in the high street. At the time I didn't realise the shop window wasn't straight but other than that what do you guys think? It was a quick snap so I'm happy with it but given time I'd have prefered to look for a differnt angle on the bike as the antlers seem to throw it off for me.

Interesting record shot from your trip of a very unusual bicycle. It is a little hard to "read" initially with all the colors, textures and patterns---there's a lot going on inthe small frame. Did you move in for a more abstract shot using a close-up of part of the rear wheel or the seat? Thanks for sharing this with us.

I tried to get in for some closer shots but the street was very busy. We were there the day before the Nevis run which is a race up the tallest mountain in the UK and I think every cross country athlete in the country was on that street at that point.

As it was the above photo was the only one I managed to get without anyone crossing in front of me.
