I ride after work, along very familiar roads. The passing seasons are on view for most of the route. I chose a location that had a reasonable view, and was close to home. I try to take them at roughly the same time of day, during my after work ride. But the winter months presented a challenge, so sometimes it's earlier.

I had to lean the bike against the fence to include the sunset in the shot. It's getting dark very quickly in the evening.

| November |
The clocks had gone back, it's dark before I left the house. I used the log that was a prop for the bike as a light stand. Look at the light pollution in the distance, it seems never to get fully dark.
December was more of the above, so during the week I was in the garage on the trainer. It wasn't until near the end of the month that I took this one. On the way back from a short post Christmas ride.

The bike got so filthy everytime I went out, the previous day had been a long ride in nearly continuous rain. I got home soaked, but not cold. It had been very mild for a week or so. The solstice had passed, so the days were getting longer. But it was still dark before I finished work.

February's picture was taken very early in the month, and in the morning. I didn't have much time so it was a solo ride. I did stop at Flower Farm for a hot drink though. It didn't look it but there was a chill in the air. Still warmer than a typical day at this time of the year. The grass was frosty when left the house, melting before I reached my photography spot.

After coming off on ice at the end of February my steed for March was the above.

April saw a small improvement. Still no ride to the photo location, and it's too far to walk at the moment. I have to be satisfied with the garage bike for now.
