Freight (only) trains won't be along for a few hours.

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Stig I worked shift work most of my life.  I have seen more beautiful sunrise then a person has a right to. I use to think of all the people who never witnessed nature's beauty at sunrise because they were asleep.  Now that I'm retired I still wake up before sunrise. During my working career I would wake up before my alarm went off at 4:30am . 

Sometimes a nice ride on a deserted country road sure helps clear the mind.

Nice shots Tom and nice words KK.  To hit a bum note, in my 30's I had six months riding 50-odd miles east to work which meant sun in my eyes both ways at sunrise and sunset.  Hard to see, but compensated for by the stunning sunrises and sunsets.
Regards & ride safe,

Neil early in my life I worked for Coleman in Wichita KS. I lived 30 miles east and would have to drive into the sun going to work and going home so I know what you had to deal with.  Thankfully wasn't there very long until I found a better job.

Thanks KK.  Coincidentally, that was the worst time in my working life.  Did two and a half years there and have never been happier than when I secured another role back in Wolverhampton - I hail from Birmingham just down the road.  Won't mention where it was I worked then, but used to joke if they gave England an enema, that's where they'd stick the tube!

You lasted longer then I . It was also the worst job of my life as well. I quit after two weeks of that BS and found a job the next day local.
