Crushed velvet dusk in my City of Dreams II

Drivetime, just before the clocks go back. The saps are sitting in their cars, frustrated by the endless jams. The cyclepath is empty; crank up and go, shooting from the saddle. This is good. Above, the car wash on Al. Generała Władysława Sikorskiego. Below: traffic not moving a whole lot faster on Dolina Służewiecka. Below: Dramatic sky over Ursynów. Approaching junction with Al. Jana Rodowicza "Anody".
  Below: The cyclepath crosses under the main road and emerges on the Ursynów side, with a 600m hiatus between the tunnel and the path running down Al. Ken. Below: Ursynów by night - Al. Komisji Edukacji Narodowej (KEN). Cyclepaths as good as they get; divided from traffic and from pedestrians by low hedgerows. Let's have more. See original post Crushed velvet dusk in my City of Dreams from April 2008 which inspired this post.

Superb photographs that capture that 'other-worldliness' as evening descends. They have a unique 'texture' to them. Brittle, layered and tactile.
