A short hop back nine years this week. In December 2007 Dublin Bus introduced into service the second batch of Enviro 500s. The first batch of twenty had been delivered in 2005 and went to Donnybrook. The second batch of fifty initially went to Phibsborough and appeared on a number of routes of that garage. These differed from the first batch by having a wider front door and LED destination displays. VT 25 is seen on Hawkins Street which was the then terminus for Blanchardstown routes. A few short years later it was transferred to Donnybrook as part of the VT 21-35 batch to supplement the other VTs on the 46A and 145. Dublin is one of the few cities in the world to operate the tri-axle Enviro 500s. 14/1/2007
This Sikorsky MH-60T from Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod arrived shortly after a storm blew through EAA AirVenture 2016 on Wednesday, July 27.
Sporting a "chrome yellow" paint scheme, this Jayhawk attempts to replicate paint schemes worn by United States Coast Guard helicopters in the late '40s and early '50s.
The eagle eyed will have noticed this is an old shot of mine. Pretty close to when I began the Lego365 project and a personal favourite of mine, mainly as it was the first time I felt like a "Real" photographer.
It was the catalyst for something bigger. And it was about then I decided to try turning a fews of my shots into prints and cards, as part of what I now call "season 1" (and Thankyou to Wendy and Kelly for the encouragement)
Oh, and I've still got a few of those prints and cards left, so if you want some, then hit me up.
..to a couple months ago. Forgot to post this neat consist that was on the point of a LINGAL manifest, caught in Burlington, Ia.
This week we are going back thirty-eight years to 1992 and to D 378 parked on O'Connell Street.
This Leyland Atlantean was new to CIE in 1970. In 1988 Dublin Bus started operating tours around the city. The same year this bus, as part of the tour fleet, emerged in a special livery to mark Dublin's millennium. Initially it had no roof, but later that year it received this perspex roof. After 1988 it had a number of either special or advertising liveries, before receiving this design in 1992. The bus was withdrawn in 1997 and later sold for scrap.
When delivered in 1970, it had the registration plate "378 IK", but for its millennium livery it received registration plates displaying 88-D-988.
Dublin Bus still operate open-top tours around the city in 2025.

This week we are going back eleven years to 2014, and to GT 80 on Terenure Road North with a service on route 49 to The Square (Tallaght).
Route 49 started running between the city centre and Kimmage Cross Roads in 1925. In 1928 it was extended to Tallaght. From 1943 to 1949 (during, and shortly after, the Second World War) it was cut back to only run between Terenure and Tallaght, regaining its full routing in 1949. In 1990 its Tallaght terminus moved the new shopping centre, The Square. It still terminates there today.
GT 80 was new to Dublin Bus in 2012, the last member of the original order of GT-Class buses. The GTs were the first double-decker buses to be delivered with middle doors in 13 years. 80 more GTs were delivered in 2013, and in 2018 12 of them transferred to Go-Ahead Ireland. GT 80 is still in service with Dublin Bus today (and even did a trip on route 49 on the day I am posting this).

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.
This is a photo from waybackkkk. Taken from our penthouse. Lucky to be able to have this shot. <3 clouds. I like it 'cause it's like a scene in a film

Exercise Iron Fist 2012
(Feb. 7, 2012)
An AV-8B Harrier jet lands on the flight deck of the USS Peleliu, Feb. 7. Marines and sailors with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit, and soldiers with the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, are participating in a weeklong at-sea period during Exercise Iron Fist 2012, which encompasses all aspects of the Marine Air Ground Task Force during the amphibious landing on to the island and provides the Navy/Marine Corps team an opportunity to practice their craft. Exercise Iron Fist 2012 is a bilateral training exercise, which gives the 15th MEU a chance to demonstrate its amphibious capabilities to the Japanese. on.fb.me/1eWgjSR
Well long ago I haven't retouched this colorstyle. Around 2007~ 2009 those retro styles are so trendy that everyone loves to use them. So instead of TBT stands for throwback thursday, I used it as Throwback Tuesday * because today is Tuesday*
Concentration piece #10 (for now)
An old pipe.
I'm not sure where this pipe came from, nor whom it came from. Heck, I don't even know who the face is supposed to be. I do know, however, that it is one awesome looking pipe, so I felt the urge to get some shots of it! Something about it just seems magical in my eyes...

This week we go back forty years to 1984 and to D 277 parked on Hawkins Street.
This Leyland Atlantean was new to CIE in 1969. It was withdrawn and sold for scrap in 1985.
The bus is parked between duties, and is therefore showing no route number. The destination display is showing the Irish for Carrickmines (Carraig Mhaighin), which in 1984 was served by routes 63 and 86.
The New Metropole Cinema in the background opened in 1972. In 1984 it became the Screen Cinema. It closed in 2016 and was subsequently demolished. A new office complex built on the site is due to be completed in 2024 or 2025. The cinema appears to be showing "The World According to Garp", a 1982 film starring Robin Williams.
