Default 2 Cool bikes

OK. So it's just a holiday snap taken with my Samsung P&S before I got into photography, but being absent from (and missing) you guys, I thought I'd post a qick one. This is my bike and my son's. We have 2 weeks together every year touring, and this is at the top of the French alps before our descent down to Como where the temperature changed from 0 degrees to 35 within about 2 hours. Good to be back. PAUL

Two cool bikes

Wow not sure if I'm ready for snow yet but I am kind of excited to try taking shots in it.
We will see how it works out for me.
Great shot as always!
Thanks for sharing

Nice shot! I have a dream of riding up to the Arctic Circle one day... the way time is flying by though, it probably won't happen!

Hey Andrew. The time flying by thing. You got that right. The arctic circle thing - just let me know when you're ready and I'll be there. DO IT NOW!. PAUL
