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.

Portugal: Just in case I miss something!
I must have been in a very enthusiastic frame of mind when I visited Portugal for two weeks in 1984 because I seemed to have photographed everything including the ugly and mundane. I imagine this elderly forward-control Volvo must have looked quite presentable when it was new but by the time I photographed it still earning it's keep in the Porto rush-hour it had paid for itself several times over. Like old Leylands these rugged fairly unsophisticated Volvo's would soldier on for years.
Beautiful photo! This Volvo belongs to "Oliveira, Fernandes e Ribeiro".It was new in 1957.
