I've owned a scooter for twelve years now. There's not much to it— it only goes sixty kilometres an hour if there's no wind— but it's one of my favourite ways of getting out of the house.

Tonight I drove around during the golden hour. It's that hour at the end of the day that washes the landscape in a blaze of orange warmth. It's very flat where I am, so the light touches everything around me. It's beautiful.
