My Walk to Work: A Photojournal

Starting out, water bottle in hand...
Down the street...
Past the house with the "secret garden"
Just me and my shadow
Through the park at Lake George, my favorite view of the cityGotta stop and check out the swans in the pond Slightly scary and dark bridge underpass




Continuing on past St. Germain Street downtown
Approaching the railroad tracks, through the "ghetto with a meadow"

Slightly scarier walk bridge under the railroad tracks, good view of pigeon crap
Past this cool old church building which I think is a homeless shelter now
A ways down, the industrial area near the tracks
National Guard Armory building--talk about inflation!
It's gone from 2ok to 40k to 60k in two years

On the left the funeral home, on the right the strip mall the co-op is in.
This is probably where the spirits that haunt the co-op come from,
passing through on their way out.
Seriously.

The final destination: work

Nice pictures. The Nat. Guard sign is very sad. It just shows that our administration is having to really dig deep to get people to sign up for this war. Ever thought about riding to work?

I do ride bike to work sometimes, in fact I did today since my feet hurt from four days straight of a lot of walking. I actually prefer the slowness of walking, but biking today was a nice change of pace. Since it's just 2.5 miles, I can choose...

I'm just proud of myself for walking and biking to work every day this week. I gave in to temptation much of last summer, but I'm really hoping not to this year. $4 gas helps!

In the winter, the cold doesn't bother me at all, but the early darkness will make both walking and biking hard, since as you can see I walk through some kinda scary areas. Still thinking on this problem!
