This was my first time shooting sunrise at Gasworks. I had to ask a couple guys to get out of my shot so I could get this. I was polite, but they had walked right in front of me while I was exposing without any consideration of the other photographers at all.
This was shot with Lee ND grad filters so I could pull out the foreground detail, with a 5Dmkii, 17-40mm.
Her journey is *almost* done! She can't wait to find out where her forever home will be!
Thank you, Linda, and Sandra, for all of your hard work with this wonderful project, and for letting us be a part of it! Thank you to all of the hosts and hostesses who enjoyed Compass' visit and showed her so many wonderful things this year!
While Compass was home, I cleaned and sanded some dirty areas a bit, washed the back of her head, touched up a few freckles on her nose, gave her some new coats of spray matte, re-glossed her lips, gave her a little vinegar rinse to try to reduce the oxidation in her teal hair, and then washed and conditioned her hair. I'm going to glue down a little scalp gap at the back before I mail her out. (Thanks to those of you who cleaned her during her travels, she was in really good shape!)
Mercedes Benz Vario Plaxton Beaver 2 V896 LOH is seen on the Brighton City College shuttle bus on 23rd September, 2010, during three years spent in the Compass Bus fleet. It had been new to Clarksons of South Elmsall.

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.
Excerpt from the Origin of the Compass Rose by Bill Thoen
The compass rose has appeared on charts and maps since the 1300's when the portolan charts first made their appearance. The term "rose" comes from the figure's compass points resembling the petals of the well-known flower.
Originally, this device was used to indicate the directions of the winds (and it was then known as a wind rose), but the 32 points of the compass rose come from the directions of the eight major winds, the eight half-winds and the sixteen quarter-winds.
In the Middle Ages, the names of the winds were commonly known throughout the Mediterranean countries as tramontana (N), greco (NE), levante (E), siroco (SE), ostro (S), libeccio (SW), ponente (W) and maestro (NW). On portolan charts you can see the initials of these winds labeled around the edge as T, G, L, S, O, L, P, and M.

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...
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.

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.
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!
