Finally finished recreating my SHIPtember 2020 entry, Dusk Adder, in Studio and rendered it today. Heavily influenced by Red M's "Sturgeon" (flic.kr/p/2iKeTTC) and LEGOLIZE IT MAN's "muulla" (flic.kr/p/yhRUN8)
2002 finds PD 46 at Shannon Airport with a service on route 344 to Ennis.
This bus was new to Bus Eireann in 1992. It was withdrawn in 2008 and subsequently scrapped.
Route 344 operated between Ennis and Shannon Airport. It ceased in 2014 when it was merged with route 343 to form a new route from Ennis to Limerick via Shannon Airport. In 2024 route 343 was split again, with it only running between Limerick and Shannon Airport, and route 330 operating between Shannon Airport and Ennis.

This week we are going back thirty-two years to 1992 and to KD 160 on Eden Quay, dressed for route 45.
This route started running between the city centre and Bray, going via Blackrock and Cabinteely, in 1927. It ceased to operate in 2012 under Network Direct changes. Over the years it had various terminus locations in Bray, with the final one being at Oldcourt. One terminus for many decades was Bray Esplanade, but this was often unhelpfully displayed on buses from Dublin as "Esplanade". Since 2004, route 145 has been the main bus route between Bray and Dublin.
KD 160 was new to CIE in 1982. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in the late-1990s.
The bus is in an all-over ad for "Bad Bobs". Bad Bobs restaurant and nightclub opened in Temple Bar in 1987 and is still trading today, although has changed owners over the years. The all-over ad was applied to KD 160 in late-1990 and was removed in late-1993.
Behind the bus is KC 60 on the 63 to Glenamuck.

As it’s throwback Thursday I thought I’d post an old photo of me in a jump suit before going out to Delmonicas in Glasgow

This week we are going back forty-one years to 1983 and to to D 137 on Hawkins Street. The bus destination blinds are showing (in Irish) Rathmines and Rathgar, as well as "Via Rathmines". Along with the lack of route number, its not easy to figure out what route it was on. However, being on Hawkins Street can help deduce it was on either a 47A or 47B, and with the bus in the background on a 47B to Grange Road, we may assume it was probably on the 47A. This route started running between the city centre and Churchtown in 1932. At the time the photograph was taken, the Churchtown terminus was on Landscape Road. The route briefly disappeared around 1984, but reappeared in 1989, but this time it ran to Rockbrook. In 1999 the route, along with the 47 and 47B was completely removed from the network.
D 137 was new to CIE in 1967. It was withdrawn four months after this picture ws taken, in June 1983.
The New Metropole cinema behind the bus opened in 1972 but closed in 2016 (as the Screen Cinema). It was then demolished and a new building is currently being erected in its place.

This isn’t a Corvette. It’s the Equus Throwback.
Okay, so it is a Corvette, sort of.
But this Corvette has been restyled, and given a little bit more grunt by Equus Automotive, creator of the Bass770.
The retro-inspired Throwback is a limited model, with only 25 planned by the Detroit-based company, which utilises the ‘Vette as a basis to create a “significantly upgraded” muscle car.
The Corvette’s supercharged V8 can be tuned to an output of 746kW and 1114Nm. Equus says it’s capable of a 2.5-second run to 97km/h (60mph), and has a top speed of 354km/h.
Equus Autmotive’s goal with the Throwback was to inspire a sense of nostalgia in muscle car fans while providing a car with modern-day usability.
“The Throwback model uses unique styling language in its outer skin to create a breathtaking vision of the ultimate Corvette. Equus takes the customer down memory lane to an era when Corvettes were synonymous with performance and class.
“The Throwback can be personalized for the design orientated drivers or for the fastest paced performance centric customer, always emphasizing the original love of an icon, desire for innovation and uncompromised quality.
“Just as companies like Brabus and Alpina focus on European brands, Equus Automotive is focused on providing American Sports car lovers the ultimate interpretation of todayʼs designs.
For our four-hundredth Throwback we are going back forty years to D 400 on Eden Quay. The bus is dressed for route 6. This route started operating between the city centre and Blackrock in 1949, terminating at Castlebyrne Park from 1966. In 1975 it was extended up the Link Road to Abbey Park. The route ceased to operate in 1989. However a new route 6 between the city centre and Howth (going via Shielmartin Road) started in 2021 as part of Bus Connects.
D 400 was new to CIE in 1971. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus at then end of 1987 and sold for scrap.
The ad on the front of the bus is for CDL coal distributors. These were taken over by Bord na Mona in 1995.

This week we are going back fourteen years to 2011 and RV 633 dressed for route 29A on Marlborough Street.
CIE started operating route 29A between the city centre and Grange Road Cross in 1958, taking the route over from the GNR(I). By 1971 it had reached Newgrove Cross, as seen on the bus here. In 2012 it was extended to Baldoyle. In 2021 the route became the H1 under Bus Connects.
RV 633 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn in 2011 and sold on to an operator in the United Kingdom.
This location on Marlborough Street is now home to the Marlborough tram stop on the Luas Green Line.

In 1949, the DeGrazias' bought 10-acres of land in the Santa Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson. Soon after Ted and Marion began to build their home on the grounds, at this time there was no electricity, water, or services. All supplies that they needed had to be transported from Tucson. They cooked their food in an old wood-burning stove and took showers outside with water from a bucket. Happy Throwback Thursday!

This week we are going back forty-two years to 1983 and to KD 90 with a service on route 41C at Dublin Airport.
Route 41C started running between the city centre and River Valley (in Swords) in 1981. In 2005 it was extended through Swords to Swords Manor. Certain departures on route 41C served Dublin Airport up until the route was extended to Swords Manor.
KD 90 was new to CIE in 1982. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus around 1997.
The background has changed a lot during the last forty years. The car park has become a multi-storey car park, as well as the location of many bus and coach stands for services to the city and to around the country. Buses no longer serve the road KD 90 is seen on.

DeGrazia built the Mission in the Sun in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe calling the mission his most durable and important piece of art. “The mission will have no functional purpose. It will be a place of beauty where I can go and hide.” Happy Throwback Thursday!
A visit back to 2008 this week to see the previous tour livery. On the 7th February 2017, Dublin Bus launched the new brand and livery for the Dublin Bus tours, now called DoDublin. This rebranding replaces the current livery which is a two-tone green with a yellow stripe. That livery itself was introduced in 2008 and replaced the one seen here on AV 328. This bus was not part of the open-top City Tour but rather used on the South Coast Tour and based in Donnybrook Garage. In the peak periods it was used on extra services on the main routes from the garage, such as the 145 as seen here. At this time the route still went to Kilmacanogue via Bray Station. The bus did not last long in the tour fleet and within a few years was part of the normal fleet. It is still clinging on in service today but now operates out of Harristown. The South Coast Tour still operates visiting places such as Powerscourt and Glendalough.

An AH-1Z Cobra from Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 364, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, hovers above the flight deck of the USS Peleliu during Phibron 3 and the 15th MEU's PHIBRON-MEU Interoperability Training exercise off the coast of Southern Calif., May 31. The exercise is the MEU's first time at-sea as an entire Marine Air Ground Task Force and gives Marines and sailors the opportunity to become familiar working together as a blue-green team.

This photo is from way back in August, but it is one of my last shoots. I've taken a serious step back from fashion photography recently, not on purpose, it just happened. I got caught up with work, and I am now starting an internship that is going to take up alot of my time.
But I really want to get back into fashion photography, get back into my blog and regularly updating everyone on what I am doing. I seem to write something similar to this a few times a year, but I mean it this time :)
If anyone has any ideas of blogposts I could do, anything you'd like to see. Or if you have any questions for me feel free to get in contact on here or you can email me at emilycharlottegreene@gmail.com or contact me on facebook or tumblr :)
