Great pics! I noticed that the bike/ped crossing is on the upper level, how do you get up there (on both ends)?

The upper level is just the midsection of the bridge, there is nothing underneath it except water. At the ends of the bridge, the midsection comes down until it is level with the car lanes on either side.

yup, what yoshi said.

yoshi -- i love the brooklyn promenade, and find going down that hill a blast! i especially love the view from the promenade when it is shrouded in fog, like your photo.

I saw this thread once, went out and took some pics, came back and it was "gone." Anyway, I guess I got it confused with the commuter bike pics thread.

These photos were taken on my commute in Santa Barbara/Montecito December 23.

1. Beach bike path, 2. Bird refuge, 3. Cottage in Montecito, 4. View from my office parking lot.
It's hell living in Santa Barbara.

Great Pic.

Those are some great pictures, everyone. What kinds of cameras do you guys carry with you on your commutes?

Hi guys! Glad y'all liked that last photo. I didn't post any details with it since I thought it pretty much spoke for itself. For those interested, that is looking west from Browning, Montana toward Glacier National Park. I was doing some work in our office there. Couldn't resist.

my panos were with my crappy canon s230, with auto-everything turned on. i stitched everything together using photoshop cs.

i've since moved on to a canon digital rebel. those photos are slightly large and i haven't resized them, so i haven't posted those. :>

Quick reply just to say your photos so totally make my day. Most of Sweden, even the southern part, is covered with half a meter (2 feet) of snow this exceptionally cold spring.

I don't have a bike anymore, but the one I'm gonna buy - a totally new one - will be in stores in about 2 weeks. At that time the snow will hopefully have melted away.

In the meantime, I live through your pics, so keep posting!

Sorry Treespeed, I missed your post. Yes it is right off the SRT on 116th - where 60 acres park is. A mile of those roads and I'm at work.

I use a Minolta Dimage xt, which is a tiny point-and-shoot digital. Smaller than a deck of cards. Small enough to take everywhere, including on backpack trips and bike rides!

Thanks Earl. Here's the first flowers of spring (they've been out for a week or two) from a couple of farms west of those post above.

If all you have is a film camera then you would need to scan them. If you don't have a scanner then I'd recommend buying a digital camera instead of a scanner. All the pictures that I have posted here have been taken with a 3 MegaPixel camera. These can be gotten pretty cheaply. They'll come with simple importing and editing software for PC or Mac. If you want something that'll still be relevant a few years from now get a four MP camera. Do a search in the touring forum for digital cameras, the topic has been discussed several times. I've gotten a lot of use out of this site: DealCam
