Mid-morning sunshine: Bern Route 23 to Blinzern


Even though I used to stay in Bern as well as Zurich when I took my regular winter holiday at about this time at the end of Febuary I did not always get much chance to photograph the compact Medievil Swiss capital's buses. Usually I was in too much of a rush straight after breakfast as I hurried away to catch my first train of the day heading for distant Cantons seeking out yellow buses and then when I got back feeling tired out it was already too dark. Another problem with Bern in winter is that like so many of our cities and towns much of the streets beneath the buildings are often deep in shade. But when one did find a sunlit spot with the sun behind the camera those dull military green buses could look very smart and quite imposing and this batch of Ramesier & Jenzer bodied Volvos like No.186 bound for Blinzern dating from the end of the Eighties were strong favourites of mine.
