A new addition to the coaching fleet of White Bus of Winkfield arrived today (05/02/2020) in the form of Volvo B9TL / East Lancs Olympus CH61/39F LJ58GCF.
The 100-seater decker started life with Tellings-Golden Miller in 2008 and passed to Go-Coachhire of Swanley in 2014 where it became WLT868 before reverting to its original registration upon sale to Hiltons Travel of Newton-le-Willows in 2018.
The coaching side of White Bus is based ain the yard of fellow Rowgate Group operator Fernhill Travel of Bracknell. The group numbers its vehicles in blocks, 1-25 being allocated to Fernhill, 26-50 to the White Bus coaches, and 51 upwards to the White Bus bus fleet based at both Winkfield and Horsell.
The latest arrival for Leasks is Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 MMC 41 seater YX18 KNV new in March 2018 to First South West as 625 trading as Somerset Passenger Solutions. It has recently arrived in Shetland for Leasks on loan for the next few months to cover for a few buses off the road due to an ongoing fleet shortage. It is not the first Enviro 200 MMC in Shetland as Leasks already have short 29 seater V40JLS however this is a longer version. It is already in use and photos will be uploaded soon
Seen here at the depot in Gremista, Lerwick on Monday 16 September 2019
There has been an influx of ex London vehicles into Chorley lately with four deckers and two coaches coming from the capital to Tyrers of Adlington. The four deckers are ex Stagecoach East London Scania OmniCitys which are in superb condition. Having mainly operated the 48 and 56 for the last seven years, they've been returned off lease with the loss of the 48 to Arriva. LX58 CMF was the former Stagecoach London 15130.

I found this outside a film production lot that's always full of interesting vehicles… doesn't seem like someone would be driving this rust bucket around. Neat car anyway, a Ford Galaxie 500 from the late 60's / early 70's.
Halloween is around the corner. It is my favorite time of year on SL! In addition to offering freebies and gifts @ the annual pumpkin hunt which is great fun. Swank is a treasure trove of Halloween apparel for men and women. Just check out this fabulous Goth gown by Vips Creations called Dead Love! Dead Love is made for classic bodies XXS-XL, maitreya, hourglass, venus, slink. I love the embellishments this gown comes with... spooky skeletons hugging each side of the dress, a stylish hat with black lace hugged by a skeleton, and a beautiful diamond and ruby cross hanging from a delicate gold chain. Who could ask for more? So head to Swank and get your Goth on!

The latest addition to my ever-growing collection of movie vehicles is also one of the ugliest: the tragically uncool AMC Pacer from Wayne's World, aka. the Mirth Mobile.
It's also my second entry for this month's LUGNuts challenge, 'Fools Rush in'. It fits two subcategories: 'Lemon Fresh Scent!, for cars that are, well, lemons, and 'High School Cool!', because of its wholly inappropriate flame job.
Party time, excellent!
A late addition to the Swanage Railways' Diesel Gala was GBRf's 73136 "Mhari" which spent the day in multiple with 33111.
Powering away from Norden with the 15:32 service from River Frome to Swanage, 73136 & 33111 are joined by 50026 "Indomitable (in "top & tail" formation) - pictured at Castle View Crossing on 08/5/2022.
Faith thought some beach images would make a perfect addition to her portfolio, so we cooked up the rather ambitious plan to do a sunrise shoot at the Tybee Island pier.
I used The Photographer's Ephemeris web app to calculate the precise time of sunrise so that I could be set up and ready to go well ahead of that time. With Faith running late we only had about 3 minutes to test my lighting setup before the sun peaked over the horizon. Unfortunately, I didn't get any great pictures until the sun was already a little ways up in the sky, but this was at least close.
The biggest problem with this shoot was the wind. I expected the wind to be constant but relatively gentle, which it was not. It was blowing about 15-20mph throughout the entire shoot. Had it been less windy, I would have had a much larger selection of modifiers at my disposal. However, my least sail-like modifier - the Mola Demi - became my only feasible option (aside from a bare flash).
strobist: 1 White Lightning x3200, camera left, diffused by a Mola Demi beauty dish with opal and PAD reflector gelled with a 1/4 CTS gel. 1 Canon 580EX, camera right, bare, 1/4 CTO gelled. Both monolight and flash triggered via Cybersyncs. Monolight powered via Vagabond II. Setup shot here.
The latest addition in the Rambler Coaches of Hastings fleet is this fabulous looking Executive Euro 6 Tri-Axle Mercedes-Benz Tourismo, CR17 RAM, which is photographed here approaching Detling Showground for its debut appearance, at the South East Bus Festival 2017. It carries the company's livery; a green and cream with a black skirting carrying orange and green stripes. This, I believe is a first for Rambler, being what I think is the only coach with this axle configuration they have had, although they have operated some coaches with two axles at the front with one at the rear. CR17RAM has C53Ft seating, and I am not yet sure of what fleet number it will carry, although could be 08 or 10.
The second of the pair of former Diamond Bus Volvo B7RLE acquired for driver trainer by to replace the last B10BLE. 69150 seen here at the depot awaiting service prep.

The addition of some giant googly eyes to the bucket of this Thew Type-O shovel (actually named the Amy Kathleen) make it resemble the character Mary Anne from the famous children's book Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel.
The latest addition to the Hromnak menagerie. These guys have been teasing me during my shower time for the past few mornings. I keep seeing them out my window in the backyard and rush to throw on some clothes and grab my camera. Most of the time I get close and they take off, it just so happened that this morning as I turned by the barn there they were! Two clicks later and they were gone again. FYI - for those that know my backyard, this year I'm going natural and letting the grass (or weeds) grow to their heart's content.
The foot-end bench and privacy screens match perfectly with the latest bedroom releases - Releasing today - noon SLT at TMD
Soooo I saw Scaris Frankie at Walmart and....well I didn't plan on getting this Frankie BUT I gave in.... -_-
A recent addition to Stagecoach Bluebird is this one time Stagecoach East and latterly Manchester and Highland Trident 18110. The Bluebird engineer must really dislike Volvo B9TLs if this was chosen over the ex First Geminis recently on loan and currently spare with Fife.
18110 seen here on the current excessive layover at Woodend on the X17 that disappears or at least reduces later this month in the timetable change. Annoying for passengers but for handy for catching up and photographing X17 buses. The Trident joins 18018 in being the only flip dot display vehicles in the fleet now.
This is a picture of the brand new addition of the Royal Ontario Museum. It is the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal by Daniel Libeskind!!

Another beautiful addtion to the PU/Leather section of my wardrobe.
Not only is this skirt my favourite length, but it also has a lovely flare to it.
~ 11/8/17 ~ DAY 106/365 ~ YEAR 3 ~ Day 837 ~ PHOTO A DAY ~ 365 A Day CHALLENGE ~ DAY 8 NOVEMBER 2017 CHALLENGE ~ "ADDITION" ~ This year I added a new "ADDITION" to my fall collection with some decorative corn. Here are two of the pieces. Also 1 + 1 = 2 corn, is "ADDITION". Not sure how many kernels there are, even if I do "ADDITION" I would still have to count them. LOL.... ~
Recent additions to the Mortons of Little London fleet are a pair of former Blackpool Transport Dennis Trident / East Lancs Lolyne buses. Both PN52XKF and PN52XKH were new to Blackburn Transport in November 2002 passing to Blackpool in 2007 as their 333 & 335. Originally H53/37F, they have been refurbished and upseated to CH55/39F. E13BUS, previously PN52XKH, is seen at the Mortons depot in November 2017.
Anemone hupehensis var. japonica (Japanese anemone). Taken with an inexpensive Pentax-M SMC 2.8/100 @2.8.
The latest additions including 2 for a new sister company, Payne Travel. The fleet theme here is orange.
Mid Fox has taken an N-reg low floor Dart (which is interesting as Payne Travel has an N-reg Dart but which is step entrance.)
A Scania Omnicity from Southamton for a new Uni contract after the previous operator went bust.
An Enviro400, which is the newest vehicle in the fleet (Hooray for that)
A Megabus Leyland Olympian for School work.
An addition to our #UnfoldTheUniverse art social media campaign sent in by Valentin Monsalve from Switzerland.
This is a calligraphy they made. This is the front. See the back here: www.flickr.com/photos/nasawebbtelescope/53062264990/in/ph...
Valentin says, "It was inspired by the beauty of the universe revealed by the James Webb Telescope and by a famous Chinese text called 千字文 "Thousand Characters Text". I used a paper that looks just like the panels of James Webb Telescope and it was made at a special workshop.
I entitled mine as "Thousand Disorders Text". I also wrote a small text in French that was inspired by the calligraphy making:
Des courbes
Des droites
Un hexagone
Une symétrie
Un enogaxeh
Un écart chemine vermillon
Une succession verticale forme une succession horizontale
Dans le chaos on peut voir de multiples logiques
Quand on a essayé 1 2 on en vient naturellement à essayer Ԑ Ⴙ
Nous verrons bien où le chemin nous mène!
The English translation of the French is:
Curves
Straights
a hexagon
A symmetry
A nogaxeh
A gap strolls red
A vertical succession forms a horizontal succession
In chaos multiple logics emerge
After trying 1 2 we naturally come to try Ԑ Ⴙ
Let's see where it goes next!
This "poem" is actually the exact description of what happens in the calligraphy that I made where the text that begins from right top and goes down do. The first line (that goes down) follows a curve and the second one a straight line. Then the alternance of those two patterns make a hexagon etc. To understand this you have to know the text in order to read it in the correct order and see the patterns."

Caco dollhouse dolls
In my 1:12 scale dollhouse
This is a small upstairs room that is part of an addition to my childhood colonial dollhouse. I gutted it tonight. Pretty easy - just had to removed the trim on the inside. No wallpaper or much of a finish. Gutting the outside was little harder. Used a heat gun and vinegar to remove trim and windows.
I was planning to donate the 2 room addition when I did my dollhouse makeover about 3-4 years ago. I never attached it 27 yrs ago and it always bugged me that it was only 2 walls.
I held onto it and I decided I just could not part with it. So, I finally began to update it tonight. This will finally complete the colonial dollhouse renovation. The interior was ok - pretty basic and neutral, but the outside was still green and now the house is tan. The shingles also needed staining. The whole thing will get a makeover - pretty excited to finally be doing this. It has been on my mental to do list for years. I have wallpaper for it, but I may just add trim and paint it 2 colors - off white and something else. The house is done in blue, tan, black, and off white.
The mouse house for my son is almost done so I’m ready to move onto a new project. Just need to see a few pillows and then we can decorate it together when he is in the mood. He is more into his Legos this week.
My latest 1/400 and 1/64 additions. Featuring:
GJ Monarch Britannia
GJ Luxair Q400
Era Car Police Scotland A6
Siku Range Rover Sport x2
MBX Austin FX4 Taxi x2
MBX Land Rover Defender 90
MBX VW Golf GTi Mk1
MBX Panamera
HW Panamera Sports Turismo
HW 944 Turbo
HW Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary
The A6 and the planes were gifts for me from my friend (many thanks) whilst the rest were bought from various locations across Sussex. Photo taken on my phone.

Pre dawn at the newly opened Barangaroo Pavilion in Sydney. Always great to see new architecture being built in my city. Shot on Gadigal country.
the part to the left,
sided inside and out with reclaimed lumber
torn down by two partners in the brewery and our 14 year old son,
from an old building that has been moved either whole or reassembled at least twice prior to this,
originally from an old lumber mill just north of the border.
it's nearing completion.
a few last details, then
waiting on three inspections in the upcoming week or so.
this should at least double our indoor seating capacity.
The ground was bare when the site was chosen. Slowly addition after addition came to be wrought making a new transformed landscape. A way was made here that stood to honour our ancestors and to praise their contemporaries as they held the balance of year and kept the intent to give themselves as the makers of markers for the futures.
The ground was bare when the site was chosen. At first wooden markers were raised up and set in sockets within the ground and these posts were piled around with the egg like river stones that spoke of the fertile mother and of her elusive lover. The Spring Bolt God who echoed everywhere even as his signature was found as hollowed and hallowed as boundless vibrating Air so his spirit as swift as lightning so fully intense and so fully fledged and fletched as he as the Lord of Thunderbolts needs to be always vigilant and always ready yet also fulfilled as the Green Man that in one session flowers a Season strong enough to turn the Wheel of the Year was also upon the instant to retract, to reduce so much as to seemingly disappear.
The ground was bare when the site was chosen. There were signs on the land here that soil here was barely draped over, these were the signs the natural characteristics that they could follow as they built up the glories of gods and set them in ‘stone bone’ back upon the Earth. The light and shadow marked out the plans by day and the stars confirmed the solar plots and so stone the bone of the land was raised for their ways to be praised longer than many, many lengths of timber lasting days.
