We got back onto our sightseeing bus for the last tour of the day on their Brooklyn Loop.  The bus is a great way to cover ground, but it's very limiting for photography.  What you see from your seat is about all you get until you get off.

Lying on my back last night watching a storm pass through the palm tree provided some decent images, but not what I went looking for.  

Then I turned my head.  I wasn't looking for this either, but there it was!

Good morning Houston.

A big day.  It started at 6:00 am with a team sendoff for the MS 150 Bike Ride where 13,000 riders are pedaling from Houston to Austin in two days.  They anticipate raising $14 million to fight Multiple Sclerosis, and this is the 24th year for the event.  It has become the benchmark for fundraising rides across the country. 

After we chased our team down to photograph them passing as many times as we felt we could safely do so, we still had time to catch the sunrise on the way to breakfast.  This is not Downtown Houston, but it's an area known as the Energy Corridor on the city's far west side.

An aside, I haven't ridden in the back of a pickup truck in YEARS, but it's still a rush!  I have a pretty special partner who will get up early just to drive me through hordes of bikers so I can get some extra shots.

Day is done -- and so is the month of November.

Straight out of the camera, no pp.  I tried opening the reflection up a little but liked it better the way it was.
