Hong Kong Transport - Buses | All types
The Hong Kong Bus Culture
The number of buses registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 18,000 - 22,000 vehicles and presumably new buses registered are offset by old buses being retired or sold over the border in China. (Source - The Transport Department, Hong Kong Government)
Bus services in Hong Kong have to be amongst the best of all major cities in the World.
All major Hong Kong Bus Companies invest heavily and are using mainly brand new double decker buses and all of them are testing and introducing single and double decker 100% electric buses and also hydrogen powered buses for future use.
☛Major Franchised Bus Companies in Hong Kong
Citybus | Cityflyer ✚ Kowloon Motor Bus | KMB ✚ Long Win Motor Bus | LWB ✚ New Lantao Bus | NLB ✚ HZMB ✚ Note : New World First Bus | NWFB merged with Citybus in 2022
☛Non - Franchised Public Bus Services using double decker and single decker buses (feeder services)
Mass Transit Railway | MTR ✚ DBTS - Lantau Island ✚ Park Island Transport Co. Ltd.
☛All Major Franchised Public Minibus Services (PLB) seating 16 or 19 people
Franchised and Non Franchised Public Light Bus Red Top ✚ Franchised Public Light Bus Green Top
☛Privately Owned Buses
Toyota seems to be the preferred brand for privately owned small and medium sized buses and are used for the following purposes
Public and Private Rehab Buses ✚ Commercial Building Buses ✚ Resident Services Buses ✚ Travel and Tour Buses ✚ Contract Hire ✚ School Buses ✚ Hotel Buses ✚ Misc. Buses for any type of charter | hire too numerous to mention including cross border buses.
One of the largest privately owned companies is Kwoon Chung Bus Company who also offer Non Franchised and Franchised Bus Services through it‛s subsidiary New Lantao Bus
☛Many Hong Kong Government Departments have a fleet of buses but for some reason also contract hire from Private Bus Companies on an “as needed” basis.
Any Government OWNED and operated vehicle in this section (such as Correctional Services Buses, Police Buses etc ) have a licence plate starting AM and any Chinese Military Vehicle has a licence plate starting ZG and naturally some of these vehicles have personalized licence plates which they buy at Government Auction!

Keep falling at your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no, I don't believe you
You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit
Hide and seek

Niagra Falls.
The Niagra Gorge extends 7 miles (11km) downstream from the falls. The canadian horseshoe falls plunge 52m (170 feet) into the Maid of the Mist Pool. The american falls descend 34m (110 feet) to the rock pile at the base of the falls.The Niagra river is very young being only 12000 years old. The falls are the second largest in the world after Victoria Falls in southern Africa. The falls have moved back 7 miles over 12,000 years, making it one of the fastest moving waterfall in the world.
Each minute, 168,000 cubic metres (6 million cubic feet) of water pass over the crestline.
The majority of the river flow is removed upstream and shared between both canada and america for hydro electric generation for a total generating capacity of 4.4 million kilowatts (5 million horsepower).
Historically the first humans arrived in the niagra region almost 12,000 years ago, just in time to witness the birth of the falls (far downstream from where it currently flows, or falls, today). In may 1535 Jacques Cartier left France to explore the new world and open a chain of high priced jewelery stores with fiesty security guards at the door. Although he never saw the falls, the indians he met along the st lawrence river told him about the mighty cataract, stories too that reached Samuel de Champlain visiting canada in 1608. A jesuit father Gabriel Lalemant first recorded the Iroquios indian name for the river - Onguiaahra, meaning the Strait. Niagra is a simplification of the original.
One fifth of all the fresh water in the world lies in the four upper great lakes, michigan, huron, superior and erie. All the outflow empties in the niagra river and eventually cascades over the falls.
March 29th 1848 due to an ice jam the upper river stopped flowing for several hours. The flow was stopped to a point where peope actually walked out and recovered artifacts from the riverbed.
The falls were very different less than 100 years ago. Today 3/4 of the river flow is diverted both for hydro generation and to slow the erosion of the falls. Eventually the falls will recede far enough to drain most of Lake Erie, the bottom of which is higher than the bottom of the falls. 90% of the river goes over the Horseshoe falls and at night the flow is cut by half for further hydro generation. This drastically reduced the two to ten feet of annual erosion that was occuring, with the falls receding southward at that rate.
The recent construction of tall buildings (mostly hotels) on the canadian side has caused the airflow over the falls to change direction. The result is that the viewing areas on the canadian side are now often obscured by a layer of mist from breezes rolling over the buildings and flowing down into the gorge below the falls feeding into a whirlpool of moisture and air.

Note the exhortation on the center sign - more photos to come...
This is from a plant-centric trip to south Florida that I took this past May. I've been thinking about it more and more as winter approaches, and the preceding apple photographs induced this particular train of thought.
The fruit stand is both interesting and a local tourist attraction (more photos will follow). Some other places visited (including a wild Ghost Orchid colony) are pictured in the current set (Miami - May 2008) and in my Fakahatchee Strand set.

I'm having a great vacation. Made this card last night using some items I stamped and cut at home - just love this label Frame Cut! I stamped the bird and the hearts again and cut them out. Hearts have added glossy accents. Triple cut the flower and added the button.

I bought this at a Hallmark store in Lawrence,MA around 2000-2001 for 40% off.
It was old stock they had for about 10 years that they couldn't get rid of.

Note that the 41 Sqn logo over a map of NZ emblem applied to the tail and ROYAL NEW ZEALAND AIR FORCE has been applied to the nose. The last Freighters in service (NZ5909, 10, 11, 12 & possibly NZ5903) were the only Freighters to wear this insignia and it was only worn for the last year of their service life.
