A haiku of speed
as the Tour de France passed through our village:
fast as a shadow
the peleton’s passing shines
helmets, lycra, tyres

Brilliant! I like this one even better than the other one. This one, with the people, the road signs, the cameras, the light and lycra and motion and sunshine: perfection.
Thank you! When I looked at all my (hundreds of) shots again, I thought this was probably better than the other one. I’m glad you think so too.

Yes, a great photo! You have really captured the speed!! And it went past so fast you did not even see me ‘hovering’ over the peleton 🙂 ! Have followed the Tour for about 11 years: for me in Australia it means staying up all night every July and trying to sleep during the day and doing my work pie-eyed and loving every moment of it. Thanks for a vey special ‘snap’!!
I think I’d opt for “helmets, lycra, thighs…” but I’m weird that way 🙂 What fun to see the tour and good job grabbing the photo!
