Nosy Cyclists

Whilst dining in a local coffee shop one lunchtime recently I glanced up and there they were.

Olympus XA and Arista Premium 400 film processed in Rodinal.

Aliens...why do we assume cyclists in full cycling gear are Earthlings?

 

[Brian Moore]

They are actually giant tropical fish who have adapted to life on wheels out of water.

Ah, that explains it. Good shot, by the way Send it to Mulder...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Brilliant timing Brian

Thanks, Chris. Much appreciated.

Mulder from X Files I presume! You caught that at the right moment Brian. You know their heads are actually that shape they stick straps to their ears to make it look like they have bicycle helmets.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Mulder and Scully? X Files? You must know them, Brian? They were always chasing cyclists.

 

[Vic Shaw]

X-files. OK. Thanks.

As to your opbservation about their heads, you are quite right, Paul. (And also very observant.) Those vents in the top of their heads are actually their gills, you know. Thanks again, Paul!

I've heard of that show, Rob, but I've never watched it. Why do they chase cyclists? (I thought it was about people from outer space,...no?) Thanks, Rob.

Thank you, Nihat. Very happy you like it.

It does have a very aquarium feel to it. And I like the sense of cosy in, envious out and I think the collections of stuffed toys adds to that. Or maybe they are looking in at a seemingly lost cosy world from a harsh and barren future, unaware there is one last survivor with a strange old camera. Wonderful stuff Brian.

Thanks, Pete.
