Many know my more recent genre Buses and Girls photography as those earlier buses I really like have all gone so now I enjoy my bus hobby more for the photography. As well as being an artist I owned a small transport business before I retired but today I have a little job too driving a minibus dong a school run to Wolverhampton in the afternoon and occasionally other jobs. It gets me out and about and satisfies my childhood ambition to drive a bus.

Babelsberg: Film Studios and Obus Route 691
Some years ago there used to be a tiny smattering trolleybus routes in East Berlin and even one operated in the West till 1965. However they could still be found working within the ' Berlin S-Bahn Zone' just over the wall in the East at Babelsberg on the line to Potsdam in the Havel District, but with the many revisions that came with Reunification sadly the functional but not unattractive Skoda trolleybuses on the 691 route had to go. I took this picture in April 1992 and went looking for them again last year not realising how long ago it actually was, and so now I guess it's hardly surprising they had long gone. Babelberg is most famous for it's film studios being the traditional heart of the German Film Industry.
