A quaint white chapel with weathered paint under a clear blue sky at sunset. The chapel features a classic steeple with a weathervane on top, where a single seagull perches. A concrete path leads to the chapel's red double doors, flanked by two small windows. The chapel's sign reads 'CHAPEL,' and there's a 'NO PARKING' sign posted in the grass in front of the building. Trees with autumn foliage and an expansive green lawn surround the chapel, conveying a serene, pastoral setting.

It was probably the last 80-degree day of 2023, so I took a nice bike ride on my Ariel Rider to Riis Park beach to enjoy the sunset full moon rise. The beach was pretty crowded for an October day!

I had some excitement, a flat tire on my way back, and had to push my Ariel Rider three blocks to a gas station to air up. Luckily, I had a patch kit with me.
