Well not really, but I would love to know what these fine Birmingham citizens were thinking as I took this picture of WMPTE 4783 (JOV 783P), a Volvo Ailsa with Alexander body in the depths of the Midland Red Bus Station in Birmingham, 1977
The sleek birds with the orange beaks and black heads are terns, the banshees of the skies over the beach.

We took a two month hiatus and hosted a similarly themed "Photo this Caption" building contest, hence there being only ten scheduled editions. Anyhow, thanks for viewing and God bless!
Caption is a play on words with regards the historical 'Welsh Not'. This was a punishment used in some schools in Wales in the 19th and possibly early 20th century to dissuade children from speaking Welsh. It was represented as a piece of wood, inscribed with the letters "WN", that was hung around the necks of children who spoke Welsh during the school day.
Location is at the entry to Paxton's Tower- a Neo-Gothic folly erected in honour of Lord Nelson. It is situated on a hilltop near Llanarthney in the Towy Valley, Carmarthenshire, Wales. Its hilltop location provides views over the Botanic Gardens and the Towy valley. The tower is under care of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty and is a grade II* listed building.
First ever visit from me - I've only ever seen it from a distance ( pic in comments, with a note)
Abandoned buildings forgotten in time, serving as canvas are suddenly brought to... Life.
