It has taken me ages to type these up as I have been really busy. Right then cast your mind back to January 2014, that is when I first rode on 394 back on the days it was mainstay on the 19 and any other Marine route. Quite a lot has changed since then. With regards to 394 it runs from a different depot, has a different screen and has had a change in paint. And by god I have been trying to tick this one off the list for ages. And it was actually a stroke of luck as I was waiting for the bus when this pulled in a couldn't resist a snap and with a healthy crop it isn't too bad. (Note the very reflective autumnal window that looks nice). Here we see Lothian buses 394 at Cameron Toll shopping Centre on a service 8 to Muirhouse.

With a fair amount of rain already fallen during the day, while selecting a spot to shoot trains, came across this reflection of the rim in the water in the wagon.

Somehow this vertical reflection shot rotated in my camera..I find it much more interesting looking at it horizontally....it looks like a totem pole in the centre.
Waiting for the sun to rise in the east, Mono Lake and the sky explode in color.
The water was like glass -- the place was relatively empty -- Iater, I found out I was sharing my vantage point for the sunrise with Jeff Sullivan, a contact I had never met, but whose pictures here on flickr I have long admired.

A cold, murky morning and my first visit of 2026.
Plenty to see and photograph, but a touch windy to spot Bearded Tits!

A pond abuting on the Little Brombachsee rather close to the village of Absberg, Franconia (Bavaria)
Some background information:
The Little Brombachsee and its connected lakes Huge Brombachsee and Igelsbachsee make up an artificial reservoir, which belongs to the so called Franconian Lakeland. It serves the water regulation, but because of its great recreation offer it's also a favoured recreational area for the residents of the city of Nuernberg as well as a popular tourist destination for holidaymakers from farer away.
The lakes are located only 37 km south of the city of Nuremberg. The water in the lakes comes via a transition from the river Altmuehl, which is a subsidiary stream of the river Danube, while the lakes’ outlet is the the small river Brombach.
All three lakes together contain about 150 Mio m³ of water. The reservoir has an overall length of about ten km and an overall width of about two km. The maximum water depth is ca. 33 m. The other lakes, which belong to the Franconian Lakeland, are the Rothsee, the Altmuehlsee, the Hahnenkammsee and the Dennenloher See. All in all these seven lakes amount to a water surface of about 20 square kilometres.
Although the three lakes Huge Brombachsee, Little Brombachsee and Igelsbachsee were flooded just about 20 years ago they fit harmoniously in the hilly and forest countryside. Hence visitors get the impression that they have always been there. The lakes offer the guests numerous activities like swimming, other aquatic sports, cycling and hiking.
One of the highlights is the elegant ‘MS Brombachsee’, the largest Trimaran on a lake in Europe, which cruises the lake from spring to autumn. Moreover, the largest lake harbour in Germany with about 600 docking spaces is situated in Ramsberg.
The lakes have changed the scenery a lot, just like the possibilities to earn a living. Hotels, restaurants and campsites have been built and many farmers have also built and furnished holiday apartments. Letting them to tourists is an acceptable additional income for them. Many tourists are German-based, but there are also a lot of visitors from the rest of Europe, in particular from the Netherlands.
The village of Absberg is situated on a promontory between the Igelsbachsee to the north and the Little Brombachsee to the south, about 50 km (31 miles) southwest of the city of Nuremberg. The commune has about 1,400 residents, who mainly make their living from tourism and agriculture.
In 948, Absberg was first mentioned in a document. In 1455, it was granted the right to execute low justice. After the noble house of the Knights of Absberg had died out in 1647, the German Order was awarded its ancestral seat Absberg Castle and all of its estates in 1651. However, today the castle is lost completely. In 1725, a second Absberg Castle was built in the Baroque style on behalf of Karl Heinrich von Hornstein, who was a knight and commander of the German Order.
After Prussia had occupied the area in 1796, it was adjudged to the Kingdom of Bavaria in the Treaty of Paris of 1806, while a different region was allocated to Prussia. At the same time, the German Order had all its rights revoked. Today, the baroque Absberg Castle still exists and is also still in good repair. But as it has become a retirement home, it is not open to the public.
