Optare MetroDecker
899 - YJ16DFG
Seen on the Green Line 702 on North Street, Winkfield, Windsor.
I haven't been on a MetroDecker so I can't comment on the ride quality or interior, but I still can't get over the fact that the exterior looks strangely unbalanced and I can't work out why. It's like the side windows are too low on the bottom deck and too high on the top deck. Does anyone else share the same view?
Also, as a destinations guru, that huge amount of wasted space on the front rather grates with me. You've got all that empty space where you could have a massive, clear destination screen and yet the standard 140x19 Mobitec still wins favour. Perhaps it's because this is a demonstrator that it has a standard screen fitted for ease, but I really hope production models have bigger screens. Otherwise it just looks odd.
I have heard good things about it though - perhaps a nice livery will diminish the odd looks!

African Dietes Irises - Flower of the Butterfly Iris
The flower of the spuria or butterfly iris is quite similar to that of the Dutch iris but the stalks are much taller. There are also three or four pairs of flowers on short branches to each stalk, making it valuable as a cut flower & in arrangement work. When the lovely new forms and colors are better known, the butterfly iris is destined to find more favor in gardens of all sections of the country. Not only does its blooms have great garden value, but the swordlike foliage is attractive and useful in arrangements throughout the year. Butterfly iris are also unexcelled for corsages since the flower resembles an orchid but is less fragile. African Iris Plant Info: Dietes is only found in South Africa and on Lord Howe Island between Australia and New Zealand. There are six species of Dietes, five from tropical Africa and one from Lord Howe Island. The genus name “Dietes” is derived from the Greek “dis” which means twice and “etes” which means an associate—twice – pertaining to its position between Moraea and Iris, two of its relatives. They were previously classified in the genus Moraea, but members of that genus are not rhizomatous. Since the African iris was formerly classified in this genus, it is still at times referred to as Morea iris by some gardeners. The species name “bi-color” means two-colored. Other Dietes species include the Fortnight lily and Butterfly iris.

Technically not the best photograph in the world, but I wanted to show the line at the aquarium. If you follow the line of people to the glass section of the building the door was just beyond that, we were about 50% through the line, the back of the line behind us wrapped around and started to go into another direction ;)
I'm enjoying the start of a 3 day weekend.
Hope you are all having fantastic ones!
More winter scenes ... hope you enjoy them and aren't too bored. It's all I've got to shoot right now lol. And to all of you commenting on how cold they look ... I guess I must be a winter child since I was born in January. I love going out in the snow - unless it's below 20 - then I'm with the rest of you and stay indoors with a good fire or something to keep me warm.
Hugs!
Cher
Beautiful feathery flakes of snow
Over the woodland and field they go
Making a blanket so warm and deep
Over the flowers that lie asleep

Fellow Flickrite Dan Lowe and I were scoping this site out a couple weeks ago on a cloudy day when there was nothing to lose and found it acceptable. I tried again last week and got a major cf'ing so I was determined to get it right. With a free couple hours this afternoon and sunny skies predicted I gave it a third shot. Here CSX local B724 is rolling north on the former Agricultural Branch Railroad at the switch for Mass Container. The power and 7 tanks on the pin are in the town of Northborough MA, the rest of the train (5 boxes, 1 lumber and 18 C&D gons) is in Marlborough MA. Rumor has it that Mass Container (just out of frame to the left - I sacrificed some scenery to shoot the switch points) has won a contract to make boxes for Amazon, and that rail service will be starting up again in the fall. That remains to be seen. I'm glad I got this today, as the mid-day sun is getting summertime harsh, so the light won't really be good again until late September.
