Anonymous authors of temporary beauty seem to defy the ego of the creator thus transcending self.

I could have venture out on it, but I think I would have had a small heart attack every time I heard the ice shift and groan. Also, I don't really have my bike set up for glare ice. I use a set of low-end Kenda studded tires that are two years old and so well-used that they're worn down to little nubbins. Great for roads and trails, but the glare ice may have to wait until I can afford some Nokians. What I should do now is track down some thrift-store ice skates. Now that looks fun. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Cynthia, thanks :)<BR/>I actually wasn't aware of that artwork and somehow missed it while I was riding on the beach. My co-worker Brian showed me pictures of it later. It is indeed a cool piece of guerilla art. Any idea who made it?Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-56602045279224990462007-12-05T15:18:00.000-07:002007-12-05T15:18:00.000-07:00Still loving your blog and all your photos, Jill, ...Still loving your blog and all your photos, Jill, and thinking good thoughts for you and the upcoming Idit event - you rock! ;)Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866053304972928398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-91224635540888312962007-12-05T14:09:00.000-07:002007-12-05T14:09:00.000-07:00My display picture is me at Nugget Falls - in the ...My display picture is me at Nugget Falls - in the summer.

Now <I>that's</I> Alaskan MBing.<BR/><BR/>I recall a year when I was in Anchorage, when the temps were real cold but there wasn't any snow to speak of, except high in the mountains. 1998 maybe? Anyway, that year Ten Mile river on the Kenai was frozen tight, and being snow free you could ride it (with studs) for miles to the "head water." Something that was pretty much impossible to do in an average winter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-80248900777575893922007-12-05T07:34:00.000-07:002007-12-05T07:34:00.000-07:00I love your photos.
