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.

Nice view Christopher.
ReplyDeleteSad to say, this particular corner of Baden has been flattened some years ago to make way for a fashionable shopping centre combined with a bus station. Mostly the local buses use it with the postal buses still running from the less hospitable undercroft on the other side of the railway. Baden still offers a lot of variety in terms of buses, and some of the outlying places the buses go to are well worth seeing.
I worked in Baden for about three years, commuting in from Zurich every day. It is a pleasant place in many ways, but I must say I never really got to like it. Maybe it had something to do with it being a little town trying so hard to look like a big town?

Sad, one of my earliest memories was seeing a two-door bonneted Saurer Post Bus parked here in about 1964, one of the few I spotted on our train journeys as we sped through these towns. This area was a good place to photograph those post buses between jobs too. No I never liked Baden much either of Aarau. The French speaking and Italian towns were always much more relaxed and laid-back and pleasant.
