Beautiful pics Cecily (fellow scenery junkie here), thanks. When I grow up I wanna be a professional cycling photographer. With the built-in graphic power of all those confetti-colored jerseys, the inherently graceful dynamic of the peloton & spectacular scenic backdrops like today's, it'd probably be impossible to ever shoot a bad frame. Just set up on a tripod, turn on the time-lapse, sit back & hang out on FR all day. Easiest job in the world.
Don't forget all the colorful characters in costumes along the way.
