My way home meme

Ben tagged me with the my way home meme, and being busy last week, I ignored my feed reader until the week­end. I had ori­gin­ally thought I should do it in reverse, take the pho­tos on my way to work and reverse them, because I start work late and return home late in the dark at this time of year. I also chose to take the pho­tos on Monday, which was one of the few stormy days of the year and instead of rid­ing my push­bike to the train sta­tion, I took the bus. So here is my trip home on a stormy winter night.

Straight out the front door of the State Lib­rary, that is the Art Gal­lery straight ahead, with the train sta­tion almost dir­ectly behind it.

400m in, I take the long way round to my plat­form, walk­ing along the Horse­shoe Bridge, so I get a cigar­ette on my walk.

1km in wait­ing for the 5:35pm train to Man­durah. I like to catch this train because it is one of the few 6 car­riage trains to Man­durah, so I always get a seat and don’t get crushed by com­muters get­ting on the next stop.

5km in, the train trip home, 28 minutes of my time, with head­phones on and Mac Book Pro on my lap.

41km, I usu­ally walk out the train sta­tion and turn right, remove my bike from the locker and ride the 2.5km home. Instead I turned left and took the bus, which is 5km or 6km trip and as long as my bike ride. But tonight the bus is the far dryer option.

The bus drops me off less than 40m from my house, the rain and lack of light pre­ven­ted me from tak­ing any more photos.

Meme Rules:

• Use a simple cam­era, the sim­pler the bet­ter, hence the use of my Dopod 838pro without the flash.
• Upload them to flickr or whatever your pref­er­ence is, but as long as they can be seen through the web,
• Tag them if you can with “onmywayhomeme”,
• Blog it and tell the story,
• Tag your mates. Well I don’t want to tag any­body, Gary, Sarah and Nath­an­ael have already com­pleted the meme and tagged most people I know who would be will­ing to take on the meme. Though if you wish to com­plete the meme, please do.
