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.

Porto: Brill Car 193
I shouldn't have to write captions for images like this one from 1984 as they are enjoyable enough as they are. Sadly I have a book of Portuguese Trams so I can show off a bit of my knowledge. This series of trams numbered between 150-199 were built between 1912 but later examples from the class like No.193 dated from the Thirties and weighed 11.71 tonnes. The genteel charm of this wonderful tram contrasts with the rather uninspiring world of Porto's industrial sprawl of sun baked concrete and brick.
