Twilight, Okęcie

This evening, as the cycling season comes to an end (I don't cycle to work after the clocks go back), I decided to cycle through Pola Mokotowskie, down Żwirki i Wigury, past the airport and down towards Jeziorki the back way. A good decision, as the light was magnificent.

Above: The railway line at the new level crossing built by ul. Czempińska. Not official yet, but on bike, eminently crossable. Below: From the same spot - a town-bound Koleje Mazowieckie train passes by. The combination of catenary wires and clouds, under-lit by a sun that's already set, give the scenes that sublime aesthetic feel.


And all the time, planes are flying over, one after another. Left: A WizzAir Airbus A320 from London Luton about to cross the fence, five minutes ahead of schedule.

Below: a digger standing idle on the roadworks linking the new S79 to the S2. Will they be ready in time for the Euro 2012? The experts doubt it. The amount of work needed to connect the two roads at Węzeł Lotnisko and at ul. Sasanki is still vast - and winter will be coming soon.

I'm happy that I got some gorgeous photos that click with my spiritual side, that bring that sublime feeling of connection with the eternal.
