I was driving the the town of Shiprock on the Navajo Nation when I saw this piece of amazing art on an abandoned business. I am posting this in honor of the Code Talkers of all of the Native Americans that did this important job, and military members who gave their lives for the United States and our allies.
EFE's rendition of the Greater Manchester 'Standard' in First Manchester 'Tomato Soup' livery. This started life as the standard issue version which carried the fleetnumber 4603, a Wigan allocated vehicle. I wanted to represent later Atlantean 4758 as it was in the late nineties when I drove it at Bolton depot.
One problem encountered was the windows. 4603 had shorter opening hopper windows, whereas 4758 had the longer full length ones fitted. A donor Standard was obtained in the form of a Pennine example and a glazing swap took place.
A photograph I took at Stockport in August 1999 showed the bus carrying advertising for Budweiser beer [I say beer, its more like watered down cat piss!] and a Google image search found that very advert which was saved for further use. Only the girls face was used to create the advert, the bottle came from another search and the text was copied the best I could with what fonts I had available on my coal powered computer and with a bit of trial and error the advert you see was created.
The fleetnumbers are a tad oversize and will be remedied in due course and new destinations will be produced, but those niggles aside I'm happy with the results.
this is another UFO i finished. it's about having to memorize codes for everything nowadays... we are prisoners of the technology.

the shot at hand: inspired by Ryan the one, the only....always pimp!
this is a regular family outing for the O'Connor family on any given saturday night...it started with "i've got a shot stuck in my head, who wants to help?"
my boy...first hand up!! and can i bring a friend....well only if said friend asks a parent because first, it's illegal and second, there is a small element of danger and third, it's illegal!!
so we're off....to a trespass into Holmes Foundry....hubby is never keen to trespass...what if we get caught, then what...and as always, i assure him that the cops have better things to do than to chase a family around in an abandoned place when all they're doing is taking pictures!!
the image above, truly a joint venture...included the following technicalities:
*the pose - strategically placed by me
*the subjects - 2 boys told to stay very still for 25 secs. (no easy task)
*handheld flashlight - me again to light the graffiti
*red gel flash - courtesy of hubby moving around the scene flashing on command
my son's friend, who had never done anything like this thought this was the best ever outing so the boys were paid with a late dinner out....we got home by midnight!!
isn't this a normal outing?
so now.....tell me what the rest of you do on any regular night out????

Old code lines at Sparrowbush, NY left behind from the Erie Railroad still hang along side the rails of the former Delaware Division. Their purpose these days is only to sing in the wind and give birds a place to rest their wings.
In the Ilford / Barkingside area TfL are running a trial of colour coded bus route publicity. The aim seems to be to see if this will increase passenger numbers.
More information will be added when I know more!
