When I posted the
ghost bike photo a few weeks ago on
tumblr nevershoutthatword asked it if was for real, I presumed he meant the memorial ghost bikes. The answer is yes, old bikes are painted white and placed at intersections where a cyclist died to raise awareness to motorists and cyclists alike. It started in New York and has spread throughout the world.
I cycle past this bike memorial every day on my way to and from work so when I walked past it late one night after work drinks I took a shot from the deserted road, resting the camera on the tarmac with a long exposure time.
