I'm not a lover of depot shots, but given both the location and subsequent history, I'm including this one of Arriva Cymru's Aberystwyth depot taken in October 2011.
From left to right we have Optare Tempo 2862, Alexander ALX400-bodied DAF DB250 4091 (another of the three transferred to the South Cambria region for the 2011/2012 University Academic Year) and Solo 692 (aka JPR Williams). Also getting in on the action is ERF breakdown wagon 8410 (DSO 309T).
The depot and its outstations at New Quay and Dolgellau technically closed in December 2013 as a result of financial pressures. That being said, because the company had to give Ceredigion CC a required notice period to cancel contracted Service 585 (Aberystwyth-Llangeitho-Tregaron-Lampeter), the doors and Lampeter outstation didn't finally close until the following February, with three Pointer-bodied Darts staying to the end.
There are more than twice as many sheeps as people living in Iceland. You can find it pretty much everywhere, but instead of letting them wander free across the mainland all their lives, they´re mainly used as a coat and meat source unfortunately.

Once there was a way,
To get back homeward.
Golden slumbers,
Fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise.
the main photo is the actual piece for the series, the others are just cute fun ones :)

After the last rays of sunlight have disappeared, a dragonfly rests for the night underneath the reeds at the waterside, waiting to be awakened by the first rays of morning light.
Not really my cup of tea, but whilst on a business trip east today, I happened upon another old airfield where there were ex London Merc Citaro 'artic's parked up. At this location there appeared to be about half a dozen ... not many but still some huge financial loss for someone. I wonder what their premature mass withdrawal translates to in financial terms? Such a shame there isn't a quick and suitable 'fix' to make them conventional 11 or 12m 'rigids'.
Viewed from the N. Kansas Expressway overpass on the NW side of Springfield, MO. on August 26th, eleven Burlington Northern Santa Fe diesels slumber awaiting their calls to duty. Models include, GP38-2, GP39-2, GP39-3, SD40-2, SD40-2R, a GP50 and a lone GE Dash-9-44CW. It would be fun to dig up the heritage of all these diesels, but I am getting ready to cut and bale hay, so that will have to await another day!

How cool would this be if I could win a galley wrap canvas to give to the new parents!
Of course it would be the original without the watermark :)
Here's another one from the session with baby Micah...the baby that didn't want to sleep!
This was during the 10 minute period that he finally closed his eyes.

When Barbie invited her good old friend Midge for a slumber party and movie night at Pink Gables, she didn't expect Midge would be the hot topic of the night!
