Ahh Lyon

I think I finally accepted it, I'm being delusional when winter starts approaching and I say, "time to put the bikes away ". And get out the ski's, snowshoes, climbing gear, avalanche equipment, the wood work project, play guitar, or that project in the basement to fix the shelf...
whatever. Lets ride ! I'm doing a 24 hour in February.

Seemed like a good night to reminisce on some summertime photos, and think about goals for 2012. when France popped up. I found this set of my last night in Lyon, past July.

" I remember walking down by the rivers, ( the Rhone and the Saone ) an awesome summer breeze blowing across the water. A late night rain shower was building up; but there was currently no real threat of rain'. It seemed like a great time to capture some scenery with the Canon. "

Sundown from Lyon.

Lots of Gothic era blended in Renaissance.



The skyline is littered with religious symbols, multi century architecture, symbols of peace and power, dedication and imagination.

... Was walking through the shopping district.
thinking about Kailee.

Lots of shopping in Lyon.

The VELO Bike share system in Lyon was the worlds first advanced community bike share program. There are thousands of members... and even more bikes I swear. The little red n white bike Depo's are everywhere, and every type of person uses them. Except me, as the sidewalk registration system only accepted France issued credit cards ?

FAIL.

Walking back to the Hotel.

A colorful cityscape, even on a cloudy evening sundown.
