This bus was new to Lothian Buses as 163 in 2008.
Seen here on Princes Street.
This is one of the latest buses to be painted in this single deck version of the revised Madder and White livery.
Gradually shifting from car engines to airplanes, this is the ME-163 rocket fighter of the WWII Luftwaffe... as seen through the gun camera of a P-47 Thunderbolt in the process of shooting it down. Far faster than any Allied aircraft in powered flight, it only carried about 8 minutes' worth of fuel and spent much of its time gliding. This allowed a fast propeller driven fighter to catch up and get a shot at it. ME-163s had about a 2:1 kill ratio against Allied planes, but there weren't enough of them for that to make much difference.
Active in 1944, the ME-163 was in development before the US entered the war.

Das ist doch nicht zu glauben, schon wieder Schuhe!!!!
Danbo machte heimlich dieses Beweisfoto.
Andrea ist wirklich eine ganz furchtbare Schuhsammlerin. Ich hab´ sie nie gezählt, aber ich wette mit euch, es sind mindestens 100 Paar.
Und sie will sie alle fotografieren,
... irgendwann.
Oh Mann, Hilfe!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is unbelievable, new shoes again!!!
Danbo secretly takes this photo of proof.
Andrea really is an awful collector of shoes. I never have counted them, but I bet on, that there are at least 100 pairs.
She wants to photograph all of them,
... sometime.
Oh boy, Help!!!
Nicht Himbeereis zum Frühstück, sondern Schokoladeneises zur Mittagspause. / icecream for lunchtime in our City park.
Today we offer a musical selection. Personally, I recommend The Clash, but if you're in a more mellow mood, The Steve Miller Band might be up your alley.
Either way, it was The Clash (along with my twisted mind) that inspired this...
I'm gutted I didn't get to see the Tall Ships due to been away all weekend. Everyone has told me it was wonderful and everyone is very proud to be from Hartlepool. I caught a tiny bit when the ships sailed off at 6pm but expected to see more sails :(
I think a longer lens will be on my christmas list after seeing the big daddy lenses some people had!!
MSH August 2010 "local hero" the Tall Ships has been Hartlepool's local hero, 970,000 visitors apparently!

My first photo project in 2012, my first night picture ...
In Jacinto Arauz (La Pampa, Argentina) is a tradition to burn the "year old" and the townspeople gather to watch the show and fireworks ... Welcome "2012!!
It's painful for me to look at those uneven edges.
I wonder if I made things more difficult by using Essex yarn dyed linen for the background....

My gaze becomes blank and my eyes don’t focus on anything. The blur comforts and disturbs me. Everything in shapes and colors, nothing defined. No clarity, out of focus life. Sleep makes my eyelids droop. My head nods. My breathing slows. My muscles lax. My mind wanders to things greater than myself. God, the galaxy, stars, the sun, fate, magic, love. Small irrelevant thoughts massacre my mind, turn it to mush. The piano plays in my head, just like always. Ballads that will never be composed, just kept inside, felt, enjoyed, not shared. The soft pulse of the keys against my fingers, moving in harmony with one another, creating beauty on ivory. Black and white lines across a page. Magic in the making, emotion heard rather than felt. My heart written across a lit page. I cannot describe how I feel except in characters and notes. I pour my soul out on the page, I leave a part of me there, there with you, to share with you, for you to keep, just a little of me, for yourself, to love, to cherish, to discard. Throw me away with your trash, like all the others. Thoughts before sleep, thoughts before dreams. In the morning they will all seem irrelevant and silly, but now, now they’re important.
