Apparently 13 years ago today I was confined in a dual-carriageway underpass, firing lasers and flinging sparks to create this #lightpainting photo.

Straight from the camera, plus watermark
A vibrant lightpainting photograph set in an underpass with smooth concrete walls. The floor is mostly dark, with infrequent strands of vivid green laser beam helping to define the silhouette of a man in the middle of the scene. Behind the man- who's stood with his feet apart and arms hanging a few CM from either side of his body- hot orange sparks fire out radially, ricocheting off the walls to either side but failing to reach the tunnel's roof. High above, the roof has been washed with violet light to create a temporary paint that's a cool contrast against the sparks.

Sidenote: if you're the kind of cyclist who can drop 6kg and not realise, fair play for always completing leg day 🦵

On 3rd Nov I found this Ortlieb pannier in Portsmouth. It's full of someone's stuff (not a euphemism, just not detailing it here.)

Have posted elsewhere to try reuniting bag with cyclist who lost it. Also kept their airpods charged in case "Find my..." works. No joy so far.

Can this place help?
