Lone rider

HDP 066

In a society where the notion of 'vital space' is close to nil I like to imagine that in stolen moments like this, one cherishes the sense of self.

Or maybe that's just me thinking too much.

The other cycles are recognizable but soft and back an interesting background for your subject.; August 8, 2008 8:04 AM

Now that's me definitely thinking too much. 8^) I like the photo.; August 9, 2008 3:15 AM

I am grateful that you are doing this photoblog, have been waiting for one of Hanoi for a long time. I am a Hanoian living away from home. So its nice to see a picture a day from my hometown. Thanks Jerome and keep up the good work!; August 17, 2008 9:07 AM
