All them panels up top are in restoration in New Jersey. I guess New Jersey's finally good for something, ha ha ha, no one cares about this burn and I'm sure New Jersey's somewhat OK.
Périgueux, September 2015 - France
I have the luxury of having a desk in my room at my current work away. I thought I may as well make the most of it instead of always using my laptop on top of myself in bed.

With the normal Ocean Terminal terminus point on Ocean Drive closed due to roadworks, buses are temporarily terminating on Melrose Drive.
Lothian Buses Volvo B8L / Enviro 400 XLB 1068 waits time before heading back to Hyvots Bank on route 11.
Lothian Country's 844 MXZ 1754, a Voith/ Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini, on service 275 Broxburn via Uphall Station and Uphall.
The 275 has since been withdrawn and has been withdrawn since Sunday the 5th of June 2022. The new service 276 acts like a partial replacement for the 275 which has been rerouted to serve the following areas: Pumpherston and Ladywell, Ash Grove in Blackburn and some of the Wester Inch estate in Bathgate.
844 MXZ 1754 was new to Lothain Buses as 848 SN57 DDU along with 840 - 843 and 845 - 875 in 2007.
In 2018, 841 - 850 were withdrawn from service to be refurbished for use in there Lothian Motorcoaches fleet which operated a mixture of private hire services and coach trips to locations such as Ibrox, Parkhead, Falkirk and England.
In November 2019, 844 - 850 were all reintroduced into service and were sent to Lothian Country to increase the capacity of services 275 and 280 which were predominantly ran by single decker vehicles at the time. 844 - 850 operated various Lothian Country services with Lothian Country advertisement around the front and rear destination displays.
In March 2020, 844 - 850 were taken off service again due to the Coronavirus lockdown because they did not have driver protection shields so they needed to get fitted.
In July 2020, they all re-entered service with Lothian Country with their driver protection shields and were predominantly used on service 275 and X17.
In early August 2020, 841 - 843 were transferred to Lothian Country from Lothian Motorcoaches and were painted into Lothian Country's livery, these were repainted prior to the Coronavirus lockdown and were intended to enter service in April 2020 and 844 - 850 were planned to get repainted too but due to the pandemic it made the idea of them being repainted obsolete.
In late August 2020, 844 - 850 were transferred from Lothian Country to East Coast Buses (another subsidiary of Lothian Buses) and were initially used on the school run until eventually entering normal daily services such as the 104, 113, 124, 139, and 140.
In September 2020, East Coast Buses 942 (SN10 DKO) had returned after a repair from a low bridge collision resulting it a deroofing at the Western General Hospital in July of 2017, this resulted in one of ex Motorcoach B9's becoming surplus and one was temporarily transferred to Lothian Buses and operated service 48 between Fort Kinnaird and Gorebridge.
In October 2020, 850 returned to East Coast Buses from the very temporary transfer.
In May 2021, 841 - 843 were all transferred to East Coast Buses to aid increase capacity of the school buses, this was originally intended as a loan but Wright Eclipse 2's 171 - 175 were transferred from Lothian Buses to Lothian Country in turn making 841 - 843 a permanent member of the East Coast Buses fleet (until their inevitable withdrawal).
This is a list of the ex Lothian Motorcoaches B9TL's and including previous registrations:
Fleet No. - Regi - Previous Regi
841 - MXZ 1751 - SN57 DDK
842 - MXZ 1752 - SN57 DDL
843 - MXZ 1753 - SN57 DDO
844 - MXZ 1754 - SN57 DDU
845 - MXZ 1755 - SN57 DDV
846 - MXZ 1756 - SN57 DDX
847 - MXZ 1757 - SN57 DDY
848 - MXZ 1758 - SN57 DDZ
849 - MXZ 1759 - SN57 DEU
850 - MXZ 1760 - SN57 DFA
UPDATE LOG, Jun22 - Jul22:
841 and 842 still remain in Lothian Country livery with Lothian Country fleet names, this is subject to change.
843, 844, 845, 847 and 860 have all been repainted into the new shared livery between Lothian Country and East Coast Buses (with ECB fleet names).
846 and 848 are currently getting prepared at Seafield for repaint at Ferrymill.
849 is the only remaining Gemini, out of this batch of 10, to still carry the Lothian Motorcoaches Livery, similar to was 844 is displaying here minus the Lothian Country branding.
The information I've provided above is correct from the date of upload, Friday the 8th of July 2022.
This photo was taken on Saturday the 8th of August 2020 at Pumpherston Turning Circle.
I'll link photographs by other photographers of the other buses in this batch in the comment section in their current state from 08/07/2022 and their original state from 2007 (when in the Harlequin livery) and a few of when they were painted into the "swoops" livery for some variety.

"Yes, its cramped, and the rations are awful. But hey, the pay is competitive, and the pension ain't no laughing matter."
While originally intended to withstand the frigid winds on the poles, all of LICHO Corp's Temporary Research Stations (TRS) were designed back on earth, and therefore unable to properly function in the Hibernian tundra. After multiple failures involving the lives of several research crews, most of the TRS's were moved to warmer, less icy parts of the moon . While the pay is better while working in a TRS, a "promotion" is more accurately a punishment. Extreme isolation isn't good for anyone.

In October 2024, we left home for a two–week trip to Provence, my wife doing watercolor and I, more prosaically, photographing. We set up our temporary base camps in rented houses, one week in the town of Vaison-la-Romaine, the other in Pernes-les-Fontaines, more to the South. I made contact in advance with local colleagues from the Fondation du Patrimoine, a heritage foundation I work for as a pro bono photographer, and arranged some interesting shoots for them and through them.
The Romanesque church of Notre-Dame d’Aubune near the village of Beaumes-de-Venise was not one of them, and I regretted it as I never managed to get anyone in an official capacity interested enough to secure access inside, which was very regrettable.
Unresponsive town hall and uncaring local powers-that-be are unfortunately what characterizes Beaumes-de-Venise. I have already encountered a similar attitude in some towns, however very rarely, which is a good thing.
We will therefore have to satisfy ourselves with a few outside photographs.
Originally built during the 900s, the construction of the chapel is, according to legend, attributed to Emperor Charlemagne who supposedly meant to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for granting him a victory over the Saracens. Of course, the Devil was watching nearby and didn’t approve of the erection of the chapel. He tried to throw a large stone on it but the Virgin stopped it with her distaff... The rock is still visible, suspended above the chapel in the rocky face of the hill that towers over it.
According to the Zodiaque book Provence romane, the name of Aubune comes from the Celtic root “Alp” meaning hill or mountain (hence of course the Alps). In this case, the word refers to the hill or low mountain I mentioned above.
As I wrote above, the apse is typical of the “First Romanesque Art”. If not from the late 900s (and certainly not from the time of Charlemagne, one century before), it isn’t much more recent than the very early 1000s. The splendid bell tower however, which is the true claim to fame of this monument, is from the years 1150–70.
The beautiful triple apse shows almost no signs of adornment, except for the mid-height stone ribbon around the main apse.
SET 7 – Oxford Kroger, 2020 Remodel/Expansion
This next shot was taken from more or less the same angle as the previous one, but several steps back – and wow, do those steps make a huge difference as to what else gets included in the scene! Now, in addition to a lot of that stuff from before, we also get to see – way off in the background on the right-hand side – what remains of the dairy department, halfway hidden behind its tarp. And more interestingly, in the foreground, we see the makeshift new home of the health and beauty department, occupying the former space of natural foods. It ain’t pretty, especially with that extra bit of shelving placed in front of the existing gondolas unnaturally extending the length of the aisle, but it gets the job done! Note also how this temporary department was very much bare-bones in terms of presentation; there are no endcaps nor are there shelves/HABA décor pieces at the very top of the fixtures, as one would typically see.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
In response to the sudden Halton Transport demise, most Merseyside operators took over contracts on emergency contracts. For Stagecoach this meant 5 Tridents and 5 Darts were brought into action at Gillmoss, the latter having been stored out of use there. The Tridents all came from Manchester, where the type had made a 6 month return to, when some routes were enhanced due to student growth. Above we see 18365 with 18326, outnumbering modern successor 10820 at Kirkby Civic Centre.
Brief histories of the 5 Tridents, which have all since been taken out of use at Gillmoss:
18325 had been at Barrow before use at Sharston, being new to Manchester in 2005
18326 had been at Carlisle before use at Stockport, being new to Manchester in 2005
18365 had been at Carlisle before use at Stockport, being new to Manchester in 2005
18372 had been stored in Merseyside at Rock Ferry, before initial use at Wigan, passing to Sharston in its last few months in Manchester, being new to Manchester in 2005
18442 had been stored in Merseyside at Rock Ferry before use at Stockport, being new to Gloucester in 2006
The pink fronted B7Ls from Plymouth were sent north after being loaned to Stagecoach, gaining a bit of green frontedness for an interim period back in Somerset before heading to Bradford.

This creation looks rather nice sitting on my desk! It’ll be there till tomorrow, until it’s destroyed like all my creations, though that’s usually right after it’s been uploaded. Oh well—fun while it lasted.
====Billings' Penthouse====
*The first thing that she thought of was "He doesn't deserve this". The second was "Christ that stench is potent" and her third thought was "Jesus this costume's tight". She was in his apartment, Spellbinder's, the best selling author. The very idea he could be adored sickened her. The place was enormous, there were strong oak bookshelves, a white, clean kitchen (evidence *he* never cooked), hell, even a hot tub, tiled in black and white slabs. The scented candles stunk up the place, probably to cover up something worse, and of course there were copies of that stupid book everywhere. She'd read a few pages, out of curiosity, none of it good. Several supervillains hadn't hesitated to call her all manners of names. She doubted his copy would give her husband much solace, even if Ten had meant well. Again she strained to move, a consequence of wearing the old suit, but it couldn't be helped. Twag and his goons had taken her newer gear when they attacked the house and raided the cave. How she wished Twag was here now. If only so she could torture him. Mercilessly. Soon, she thought. She just needed the right- Billings. He'd at last emerged from the bedroom, he had glanced her briefly and was now wearing his supervillain garb. Hideous, not unlike the man himself*
Billings- -You must be the stripper I ordered. Just make yourself at home won't- You. Times are tough are they?
Miranda- I'm not a stripper Billings.
Billings- Your legs say otherwise.
Miranda- It's an old costume.
Billings- Don't doubt it, very risqué. What's this about, Legs? Want me to sign a copy?
Miranda- I want to know your source
*Billings' sneer vanishes. In a way Miranda was glad, if she had to put up with any more misogynistic bullshit from him, she'd kill him herself*
Billings- Don't you bug buggers exchange notes?! I already had your husband come visit me in August.
Miranda- My husband?
Billings- Yeah, playing Batman in a black suit.
Miranda- Billings you idiot, that wasn't Drury!
Billings- Idiot! Idiot indeed. You can't just walk into my home and insult me! Me!
Miranda- Your source.
Billings- It doesn't matter Legs, she's dead isn't she?
Miranda- Dead- Pike? Pike gave you those files?!
*It all led back to Twag. He hadn't just sent The Wasp to frame Drury, he had been giving Pike details on him, information she gave to Billings. Just what she needed, another conspiracy against Drury*
Billings- Yeah! And I hope she's rotting in Hell for the trouble she put me through. I don't expect to be assualted here! This is my safe space, my hidey hole! To have a black suited insectophile attack me, Walker or not, is disgust-!
*Thwip*
Miranda- Billings-?
*Billings. Shit*
Billings- Fucking help me! It's-! It's-! Spider-Man?!
LaMonica- I'll take that as compliment, eh?
*Who the- Well, he's certainly not Eric Needham*
====Arkham Asylum====
*Hugo Strange is in his office, a cup of tea at his side. He's rereading some old patient reports. Interesting, he thinks to himself. Very interesting indeed. His train of thought is nearly broken by the loud rapping at his door. He growls, annoyed by this unwelcomed disruption*
Guard- Sorry to disturb you Professor-
Strange- Just get on with it Captain.
Guard- Of course... There's been an incident..
Strange- Of what variety?
Guard- Three inmates never returned to their cells after lunch. Lynns, Walker and-
Strange- Yes?
Guard- Paul Dekker.
*Interesting, thought Strange once more. Very interesting*
====Lunchtime=====
Inmate- Great show today Paulie!
Dekker- Oho! If you think that was good, tune in next week, I'll have Two-Face in tears haha!
Amygdala- Your lunch Mr Dekker
Dekker- Ahh thank you Aaron! Oh that looks good!
Amygdala- Made it myself!
Dekker- Well, aren't you a resourceful little one. One moment please. Drury! Drury Walker!
*Drury and Gar walk cautiously over to Dekker*
Gar- Yeah?
Dekker- Garfield, wait your turn. Drury, it does my heart good to see you. You heard today's show, yes?
Drury- Yeah, yeah, very nice, listen how many people normally listen to it? Anyone across the bay?
Dekker- Anyone across the bay? Oh Drury, Drury, Drury, where have you been? It's the talk of the town- paper Aaron, see?
*Drury looks at the newspaper, clutched in Amygdala's hand, and there it is, an article on Dekker's radio show, dated around the same time he got arrested. Figures. But the ratings are indeed good, great in fact, and a plan has started to form in that brain of his*
Drury- Do you have to book in advance for these?
Dekker- Well, of course, I have *hundreds* of requests each day! Why do you ask? *You* don't want to appear so you? Haha!
Drury- Actually, I kinda do.
*Dekker freezes. It takes Drury aback, seeing him speechless like that. Gar mutters in his ear*
Gar- You sure Drury? I share a cell with him, you don't want to spend time with him alone.
Drury- I am Gar. Trust me.
Dekker- I don't know... I've scheduled Harvey in for next week.
Drury- Well, why wait, why not today?
Dekker- ... today-?
*Drury nods. Dekker ponders for a second, twirling his moustache, Gar and Drury look at him in anticipation, then, frowning, Dekker looks up*
Dekker- No.
*No? thought Drury. No? Why not? He and Dekker weren't exactly close, like most sane people he knew when to keep his distance but all the same, he thought he could count on the man to help him out, so he could get out the legal way, so he could see his family*
Drury- Dekker-
Dekker- I said no, Norbert, good day!
*And like that, the man stormed off, Gar and Drury exchanged another look, this time of suspicion*
Drury- Norbert-?
====Now====
*This was hardly the first time Paul Dekker found himself tied up. It wasn't even the first time he had found himself hanging upside down, The Bat had certainly seen to that. But, for once this was the first time he was afraid. Not of his assailants; Killer Moth, Firefly... children. Handsomely un-handsome children. No, he was afraid of what might happen. What may already be happening. Because he blurted out something he shouldn't have. Oh how he cursed those drugs of his! He ought to quit, maybe it'll stick this time*
Dekker- This is a mistake, surely Drury?
Drury- Shut up. What do you know about Norbert?
Dekker- Hmm?
Drury- You called me Norbert today, why?
Dekker- Drury, Norbert, they sound so similar no?
Gar- Cut the horseshit, what the hell do you know? And please, answer carefully... I hear a hint of some kind of pass, you're dead
Dekker- Nor. Bert. Norbert. What *do* I know?
Gar- I'm warning-!
Dekker- No flair for the dramatics Garfield? I thought you'd understand?
Drury- What do you know about Norbert?!
Dekker- Everything you insensitive butthole! I worked on the damn project that created him! Created the Killer Wasp! And the funny thing? I'm not even the only one!
Strange- No. He isn't. Good evening gentlemen
41/52 for the group 2021 Weekly Alphabet Challenge
This week's theme was: O is for Optician
I need to make an appointment with the optician because the arm on my glasses had snapped. I've managed a temporary repair, so it's not urgent, but I will have to do it before too long.
