Description There was a strong blue colour tone in the haze of this morning, giving all my shots this strange blue touch. But please do not think that it reflected my mood: I felt more like in a cyclistΒ΄s paradise again than in the blues.

Taken near Hilversum/The Netherlands.

Yes, it is indeed the breath you could see on this cold morning! Great you like the shot so much.

Makes me want to go OUT (and today we are !!!!! wheeeeeeee and there might even be some sunshine)
I would love riding bikes too but Ireland is NOT the best place for one who is NOT fit to do it !! waaaaaaaaay too many hills !! hadn't been on one for about 25 years and we hired a couple for a couple of days when we on the Aran Islands one summer ..... my thighs and BACKSIDE were stiff for days, but I loved it soooooooooooooooo much.

One good thing about Holland: no hills, at least not in the west!

Lucky you to be able to ride a bicycle. I have not been able to do so since my youth when the surgery on my knees made them inflexible....but I remember the wind blowing in my face and the speed downhill that was so exhillerating.

I am very sorry to hear about your knees. Yes, I do realize that I am very lucky to be able to ride a bicycle, and in such beautiful surroundings, too.

It's all good. Everything that happens to us either kills us or makes us stronger they say...but I do miss the wind in my face.

I must believe that I do not really believe in that either ... or. It is more a matter of making the best of a given situation in my eyes. Even from a position of relative weakness.

Yes, cycling here is perfect, and with the weather as it was the last days, it was just great to be able to go out on my bicycle.

WOW.

Beautiful shot. The blue haze kind of gives it that early morning feel, I think - makes me, personally, feel as though I were there (which I wish I was! Such a gorgeous place). It's peaceful, and looks like good weather for biking. LOL. The blue atmosphere also brings out the gold lighting from the sun, I think.

Wonderful job!

Yes, no hills here, and in the forest no wind in your face. The latter can be very tough in the open polders. And I do not envy the children going against those winds to school for miles on end.

When the wind is at your back it's a free ride.....that just never seems to happen though.

Well, here it does, either on the way out or the way home. But the other part can be very tough!

Its a nice tone, adds to the atmosphere. It must be something in the air.
This looks like really good place for bike riding.

Beautiful moment. I like the way the light is filtered trough the mist. And that golden sphere, from breathing in cold, around man's head is quite nice detail. Plus the sun light creates cool effect on some of the branches.

It is a bit blue. But that makes it really interesting because it's not as common. ^^
