Don't be jealous.This biking infrastructure is often organized in an idiotic way, ideologically favored (save the planet!), contrary to common sense. So that other road users, such as cars and pedestrians, are discriminated against.
Tale of two extremes I guess, because I’m in Denver which is a relatively bike friendly city but it’s still a bit like that move from the 70s, Death Race 2000, when I bike to work most days.

I live in Wrocław - the third biggest city of Poland (880K population).Sadly over the past 25 years I have experienced an intensive "expansion" of bicycle infrastructure, most of which defies common sense. The last such investment was completed at the beginning of this year and runs 500mm from my house. It is because of it that every morning I have to sit in a traffic jam, I barely leave my house, because the bicycle path is wider than the path for cars and people combined. But enough about that.
Yes, it is. The woman and others and their dogs live in shacks on the shoreline. She wanted something from me, so I gave her Rs 500. I try to be kind to such people, whom fate has dealt their hand. Many tiers to Indian society..
With new high use travel lenses, we are always looking for ones that do many things, making life so much easier. Here, #1 shows what to expect in full bokeh images, the others are stopped down to f8. (Simera 28/1.4). The lens is democratic in how it defines people at different distances, making it fine for regular 28mm 'deep image' work as well.
A few aurora images from late Sunday/Monday night. I thought it was going to be a bust but after the moon finally disappeared below the horizon things turned on. Not quite the display like from last year, but still nice to witness and photograph nonetheless.

Nice, I went out a couple of times and checked but couldn't see anything from my house in Denver. I'm relatively close to downtown so I'm sure our light pollution was doing me no favors.

Thanks and sorry you didn't see anything in your area. It was your post I saw that alerted me to the fact that there might be some activity so thank you for that! I was out from about 11:30 pm to 2:45am and the only activity I saw was from around 1:45 to 2:45am. After that clouds rolled in and obscured the northern views. Hopefully we see some more activity this summer, it's really exciting to see it this far south.

Super nice! It was a bust here due to the smoke from the wildfires in Canada. It's been very hazy here in the last three days.
