Winter solstice

A bicycle rests against a shrub during this time lapse photo of the first hours of winter in Myersville, Md. The composite photo is a compilation of 174 images exposed at 30 seconds each starting at 12:45 a.m. and ending at 4:13 a.m. The exposure was set at ISO 640, 30 second shutter speed at f3.2 with a 14mm lens and 1 minute 10 seconds between exposures. The winter solstice is the shortest period of daylight experienced in the Mid-Atlantic during the year. The streaks of light are stars appearing to move as the Earth rotates.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
