Busworld Photography: THE MAGIC OF BUS GARAGES

BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

THE MAGIC OF BUS GARAGES

No I'm afraid unless they're old elegant ornate tram sheds or wonderful examples of Art Deco architecture bus garages tend to be rather ugly affairs as far as the general public are concerned. I'm sure though the TAN Garage at Eilat in Israel was one of the least photographed by tourists as it was hardly a thing of beauty. Strangely enough I never really noticed how ugly they might be as I was always more excited by what I might find inside. In this Seventies view as well as the Leyland Royal Tiger Worldmaster we can also see the rear half of a Scania plus from behind a rather meaty looking recovery truck.
