Which way is south? The side that still has the leaves. Only useful until all the leaves fall off. :-)
Canon 30D. Not as sharp as you would like. Pixelization in the sky.
“Sailors believed that a compass rose tattoo would bring them good luck and ensure that they made it back to shore alive. Considering the rough lives these sailors endured, with unpredictable seas, malnutrition and other hazards, some luck was needed indeed.”
When I’m sailing the roughest seas I need some luck to make it through.
PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT and let me know what you think! This tattoo was designed and inked by Jonathan Kellogg of Crucial Tattoo in Salisbury MD.
I found this compass bus at a pulse bus stop in Worthing on Thursday 19th 2019
(NO PLATE COULD BE SEEN)
Delta Connection Embraer ERJ-175LR N609CZ operated by Compass Airlines lands at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport with a flight from Los Angeles. I heard today that the airline is due to cease operations within the next two weeks due to the impact of the current Coronavius outbreak - the world felt a very different place when I took this shot less than two months ago...
Spent the afternoon this past Sunday at the Freetown Historical Society’s annual open house, since Thing Two was helping staff the local Girl Scout service unit’s recruiting booth (doing face painting.) Thing One and I kept ourselves busy with my camera while Thing Two worked.
I spotted this old-style transit compass and reproduction map at the encampment of the Civil War re-enactors who were down for the day. Since I’ve been playing with black & white a bit more lately, this seemed an ideal candidate, and I shot with the intent of a monochrome image.

This is the oldest of a number of buses acquired by Compass Bus from Seaford and District earlier this year. Dennis Dart SLF Plaxton Pointer 2 SD05 SEA - originally KX05 KFE - works a service 7 from Worthing Pier on 8th October 2018. In this case, the lack of a destination display is not due to a malfunctioning camera but reflects the true turnout of the vehicle.
Along with many operators across the country, Compass Royston, Stockton-on-Tees, has added a number of PSVAR compliant former National Express Caetano Levante bodied coaches to its fleet.
Volvo B9R FJ11 MLU, seen on a baths contract in Church Road, Stockton last Thursday, 05/03/20, was new to de Courcey, Coventry in June 2011 as fleet number MD10.
Compass Bus took over service 32 on 1st June 2015, following previous operator Arriva's decision its financial performance was not good enough - Compass won the resulting Surrey CC tender process.
Four new Enviro200s were acquired for the route - an improvement over the Arriva vehicle offering. However, Compass increased the fares quite a bit, and the service is no longer covered by any real time information systems.
Here, SK15 HBD is seen heading down Somerset Road in Meadvale. The grass and laburnum look somewhat more summery than the equivalent Arriva photo I took a month prior to this!

It is supposed to say "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live life as imagined."
Trouble is it doens't all fit in. Look at the gap in the top left. Any ideas? what can I do?

Another Compass Bus on the 100 today, 1st July, 2020, this time MX62 AKZ, new to Sheffield Community Transport and acquired from Seaford and District in 2018.
Recycled map pages, sterling silver, nylon coated steel cable, magnet.
Woven, riveted.
Making this piece was like solving a puzzle game where the words given to me were: movement, compass, circle and way.
Can you see how I connected the dots?
Barton Park, 5th Dec 2012, Noted in Hants & Dorset Trims workshop,due to return to Compass Bus on the 6th Dec 2012.
Brighton & Hove Mercedes Benz 811D Wadham Stringer 359 (G59 BEL) hung around on the South Coast for another year after disposal, briefly finding a home with Compass Travel. Here, we see it in Worthing on 29th November, 2000.
Volvo B10M-61 Plaxton Supreme V AAJ 674Y was supplied new to Roystons of Stockton in early 1983, following a shorter B10M-56 supplied the previous summer. I think this was just before the merger with Compass of Stockton leading to the well-known Compass Royston brand - any further details of those events would be most welcome. AAJ passed to Atkinsons, Ingleby Arncliffe in 1986 but returned home in 1995, eventually becoming a high capacity 3x2 seated school coach. By the time of this shot on 8th January, 2007, it had gained a slightly uncomfortable Paramount style front and a dark red and white livery which I believe was restricted to the school fleet.
