Busworld Photography: Mercedes-Benz 1559 stripped ready for scrap

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.

Mercedes-Benz 1559 stripped ready for scrap

Close to the large BVG Indra Gandhi Str depot in the old East Berlin used to be a bus compound where redundant buses were stripped or stored prior to sale. One the first occasion I came the bearded guy in the mobile hut was friendly relaxed and let me wander around taking photos, but the next time it wasn't interesting enough to go inside so I just took one photo from outside the gates and the same caretaker came running out almost foaming at the mouth like a rabid dogs shouting and waving his fists at me. The next time it was closed and empty.
