[Leica] Nathan's PAD 20/5/2018: two very different scenes from yesterday's bike ride

[Nathan Wajsman]

I live about 5 km north of the centre of Alicante, so when I want to cycle south to the towns of Elche and Santa Pola, my route takes me through the very heart of the city. Yesterday was one of those days—I had done a tough ride in the mountains on Saturday, so yesterday I wanted to “rest” a bit with a substantial enough ride, 74 km, but in largely flat terrain.

In the centre of Alicante I found the main thoroughfare blocked for a half marathon. Of course, I stopped to photograph some of the runners. This is one of my favourite images, since all three runners in the frame are suffering to a greater or lesser degree:

After 42 km, I took my only break of the ride, in the fishing harbour of Santa Pola. I just sat on a bench for a few minutes, drinking my Coke and eating a banana (standard cyclist snack), and watching the human traffic. This trio attracted my attention. People say that dogs and their humans resemble each other; well, sometimes they do, but not in this case:
