Amazing what drifts by the shadows!

I was aiming for the palm shadows on the old Dromana shire council walls.
Then into the focus arrived this bike rider.
Not an advisable way to ride "hands free"!
But it added some character to the photo!

A free riding soul
Little thought for being safe
Trusting on instinct

Empty

Erased summer charms
Holiday costumes are gone
Empty sands and seas


But in distant greys
Like dust on a cam'ra lens
One lone rider dreams

Is it called a motorbike?

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Resting in a Dromana street, Mornington Peninsula was this somewhat eyecatching bike (perhaps new) and it created an intriguing shadow!

A Moment in Brunswick

On the way, we passed through the charm of inner city Brunswick.
When the mini bus stopped at the lights, I saw this sweet scene!
Time for a photo shoot!

Ruby Vehicles and Riders

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A ruby gathering at Dromana, Mornington Peninsula
A 7 Eleven red trailer for hire conveniently happened to be in the background and one of the bike riders conveniently had a splash of red on his jacket! But the photo was really about the ruby bike parked at the service station!

Bikie Memories

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ American Memorabilia shop, Rosebud, Mornington Peninsula in AUSTRALIA!
~
Odd Shot Monday prompt
~
This is really odd! Who would expect to find a bike shop, specialising in American bike memorabilia, a Harley specialist, in Rosebud, right on Port Phillip Bay, about 70km south of Melbourne in Australia! The shop is not in the main shopping mall, but is part of a small cluster of shops where parking nearby is very limited, especially in summer when the tourists arrive for the beach season!
WHY? WHY HERE?
I can only guess! There is a bikie group known as Ulysses in the Rosebud area. This group attracts the older, veteran bikies. Perhaps this shop is a passion of one of the members! Bikies enjoy riding the beach highway and the winding Arthurs Seat mountain road. Perhaps there are enough bikies on the road down this way to make this shop a compulsory pit stop! And the shop is flanked by 2 cafes that seem to do a reasonable trade in all weathers!
And not many shops fly flags here on the Peninsula!
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A rainy, windscreen view of the shop
~
This is really the first pic I took. It was raining. But I wanted to include those bikes out the front! So, the wipers went into fast mode to clear the windscreen a bit, and I took the pic before more rain smeared the view! The other pic was taken later in the day when sunlight made a fleeting visit! And the bikes were gone!

Freedom on two wheels

Weekend Snapshot prompt #47

To you
I may look like
A shameful
Grubby
Dried mud
Mess
~
But I have been on
The best weekend ride ~
Flashing down trails in
Wild bushlands ~
Leaping mounds
In a single bound ~
Racing round
Bends
Not meant for
The faint-hearted
~
And best of all
We did it
Again and
Again and
AGAIN!
~
Wash me?
Never!
Well, not right now!
Let me dream awhile in
My muddy heaven
~
