A day in the Smoke today (25/10/2025) and a wander from Waterloo to Victoria via the O2, Stratford, Liverpool St, Marble Arch, Park Lane and Hyde Park Corner. Stotts had their brand spanking new National Express branded Temsa HD13 ST75TTS on the 561 to Bradford, Galloways added a bit of extra colour to Victoria, a German Neoplan Cityliner and a pair of Czech Setras were spotted at the O2 coach park, and a 2008 Van Hool Astron T917 with RG Live logos parked up just where we were standing! Good day.

Just thought I’d break the monotony of editing Dreamtime and upload something a little simpler, as well as share some musings.
If you’re lazy to read the following (because I tend to get wordy) feel free to navigate away from here, I’ll forgive you if you do.
Oftentimes and of late, I’ve been revisiting the familiar question, which being, “Why do I blog?”
Sure, Flickr isn’t exactly a blog, but its mechanics comes really close to photoblogging. You upload a photo, and it also allows you space upon which you can spew word vomit, a feature that I abuse all too well.
It’s been a while since I blogged though, in the pure sense of the word. I remember starting my blog when it was the hip thing to do. Oh man… that was when the word “hip” was actually in.
I think every blogger would ask that question at least once. Most would wonder if it were all pointless, and some would think about closing down their blogs. I tend to get sad when it comes to that though, it's as if I lost a friend. Even though my blog has stagnated (thanks to flickr), I still can’t bring myself to delete it.
So, why do we do this? All the posting? All the commenting? All the faving? Is there really a point to it all?
I’ve come to realize that my motivations for starting a blog from that many years ago, to why I post regularly in present time, generally does not change. Perhaps the prior reason for starting differed, but above all the reasons are interconnected.
It’s pretty simple, really.
Connections.
I believe we are all connected on some level, even if we are apparent strangers in this weird world we call the Internet.
Like every other user in the community, I love all the comments, the faves, the eprops and whatnot. I love to read about other people, and know how they think and learn to empathize with them. My heart secretly sings out when I find people who sympathize.
Because at the end of the day, I believe that when you make a comment on my page, or even stop by because something on my page caught your attention… we have made a connection.
Told you I get wordy…
I just loved this one so much because you can feel the connection between the mother and child. The baby is even clapping! And mom's arm was perfectly placed so we didn't have any exposure..ha!
I used the milk and honey action from florabella...I just love how it applied to this picture!
extracted from an HD video, it was an very intense thunderstorm. On the roof of the skyscraper mobile antennas are installed.
I seem to be going through a bit of a black and white phase at the moment - so far my shots for November have been pretty dark!

31/52 weeks of no colour. ODC - Connections, surely Lego is all about connecting things?
CONNECTIONS. I love making connections... between persons, places, and things. Two vintage postcards I paid way too much for, but making the connection was very important to me. Same building? Nope. Postcard 1 is the architectural rendering for Provident Federal Savings in Nampa, Idaho. Postcard 2 is of the former Sunnyvale branch of the First National Bank in San Jose, California. Both buildings were constructed in 1962 and went up in 1963. Thankfully both still exist. The key connection? Wenceslaus Sarmiento. Former Head of Design for Bank Building and Equipment Corp. Sarmiento partnered with local project architects on the implementation of the firm's designs. The local architect who was assigned to the Sunnyvale project was Melvin Rojko. My friend Gretchen and I interviewed Mr. Rojko years ago. At the time, he had no recollection of the First National project. Rojko and Sarmiento were very close friends. Ultimately they both left Bank Building and Equipment Corp. and set up their own practices.
What goes up must come down, as the saying goes.
Bysiau Cwm Taf holds the Pembrokeshire County Council contract for Service 351 (Tenby-Saundersfoot-Amroth-Pendine). This enters Carmarthenshire for its last few miles and twice a day connects at Pendine with the company's Carmarthenshire County Council-contracted Service 222 to and from Carmarthen. Until June 2016, the contract was held by Silcox, who allocated anything and everything, though former MoD Plaxton Derwent-bodied Leyland Tigers were a popular choice.
A new 8.9m Alexander Dennis E20D, YY74 RYM, was purchased by Bysiau Cwm Taf for the service - which doubles up as a school contract at the Tenby end - at the start of 2025, and she was descending Pendine Hill and heading for the village, where the connection would be made with Service 222, in this November 2025 shot.
