it’s a long walk through the city in the rain, it’s a long walk from train to train October 15th, 2009

   
The melancholy lyrics of “BMX Bike” by the Bouncing Souls always ring through my ears as the seasons take the swift change from cool, crisp, and pleasant to cold, damp, and dreary.  For DC I think that switch might have officially happened yesterday.  Rainy day bike commutes (woohoo fenders!) and bundling up has become a thing of the present.
   
Rain, however, does have the photographic benefit of providing lots of opportunities for glistening reflections at night.  As I left the grocery store last night I snapped the photo above of the liquor store neon sign shining bright and casting a ethereal purple glow upon the sidewalk.
   
Next step: get an unbusted umbrella!
