Meant to post these few whacky sightings from my ride Wednesday, but photo loading was not working. Took these on a 17 mile exploratory ride around town to areas i’d never been before.
A leftover from Valentines Day fun perhaps.
A local penguin sighting.
Penguins have been Silver Spring Maryland's unofficial mascot since 1990 when an artist was commissioned to do a 100 foot long mural under our Metro station.
When the original one from 1990 was finally crumbling with lots of its paint falling off of it, in 2005 it was replaced with a version printed on aluminum panels with weatherproof and graffiti protective coatings and has survived to this day. There’s not even enough room in the underpass to capture the whole thing in one photo. It’s fun to walk or
cycle past it.
I came across the penguin statue in another part of the city that I’d never been to before. It’s great fun to head out on bike to explore with a camera.
