bicycle counter on Erbprinzenstraße, Karlsruhr, Germany
Karlsruhr has a claim to the origin of the bicycle because Baron Karl Von Drais was born there, and he invented the two-wheeled Laufmaschine or velocipede in 1817.
Please see his biography for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Drais
Karlsruhe and the surrounding area is especially good for cycling.
This is a photo of the bicycle counter on Erbprinzenstrasse in Karlsruhr, Germany.
The counter recorded one million bicycle journeys along this street in the first seven months of 2016.

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.
Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.
Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.
The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.
Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
