I'm not good at puns, shall stick to my simple words :-) It's a rather melancholy scene. The color reminded me of a sunset but it's not in a beautiful way. As if it marks the end of the bike, its downcycle. And as if it's helplessly looking at its type lying lifeless on the floor. Perhaps I should look at it more postively. A golden time yet to come as it may be getting a new type change and be revived the next day :-)

Fantastic. Love the tire tube lying off to the side and the golden light. Superb.

Kal my friend, forgive me, I can't resist. I would like to "pun-ping" you. Under your leave... http://www.pbase.com/adalberto_tiburzi/image/46760066 Sorry... ;-)) your Adal

Seems to be busy in here... (just by reading at the coments) Kal.... Been keeping an eye everytime you share a new photo. I will get some of your style as an influence, not saying I will copy it... Just borrow some ideas and see how they work.... Let's see how it goes and I will share it with you and Phil. Unfortunatley... At this time im not in a big city such as Shanghai, but I have a dream photo... Addind some of your style with street stories and as a background, a city as a whole.. Will be difficult to find the vantage point to cover it. Just imagine... skyrises, heavy traffic roads and then... a single person. Ill be around checking at your work... Happy to see Shanghai photos pretty often ^_^

Just back to the original topic... Love how Kal's humour counterbalances the undoubtable sadness of the subject... Adal

hey! I was just the one who spoke up first

Guest		13-Dec-2006 17:03
Jude is responsible for this chain of bad puns. She should be locked up.

sigh ... I didn't mean to get others to comment in tandem.

Hmm...You need to get a grip of the handlebar on this situation Pete. I really must insist that you stop pedalling this behaviour around pbase ;-)k

Guest		13-Dec-2006 14:30
Jude, you spoke too soon. Its a vicious cycle.

Guest		13-Dec-2006 13:50
LOL! what a find! Love the gold and the shadows too.

jude		13-Dec-2006 13:34
I was going to say "maybe it's more exhausted than tired." but I'm not starting that stuff again..LOL I need streets to take pics on.. I love this
