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.

Blackpool: Shapely Bodies
Those shapely girls getting in the way again, but I also rather like the later uncompromisingly angular East Lancs bodies like this Dennis Trident in Blackpool 'Metro' green livery. Even though I went to Lancashire with some enthusiast friends in their Bedford coach for the Fleetwood Tram Sunday event last Sunday I was happier taking photographs of the ordinary buses going about their business.
Very nice picture.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have a gift of matching the colours of the people's clothes with those of the buses in your pictures!
Any idea what the strange handle thing on the upper deck of the bus is for?
Andrew
That is to prevent damage from trees and on this bus it seems to look okay whilst other double-deckers look more like 'riot buses'.
