Long wheelbase Optare Solo BU56OOD was new to Rhodri Evans of Ffoshelig near Carmarthen and was seen in the town bus station in Feb 2009. I don't believe they're still operating bus services though were still a coaching business.
It passed to APL Travel in Wiltshire who subsequently went bust but it now works for nearby Coachstyle just outside Chippenham.
this is the third gown that I tried. It is a Strapless Sweetheart Pick-up Ball Gown (Style 9WG3239).
28/03/1999, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Islas Canarias, Spain.
Three fishing vessels, the first two were abandoned, the third seemed to be in limbo - maybe laid up for a while, but was crewed.
Left to right:
"LIRIO" - IMO 7225272
Completed on 22/07/1972 by Mie Zosen, Yokkaichi, Japan (65)
402 g.t., as:
'Daikichi Maru No.38' to 1987,
'Croto' to 1998, and
'Lirio' until sold by local Judicial order for demolition, and it is believed she was broken up in 2007 by Logiscrap S.A., of Las Palmas.
Vessel has an unusual, modified bow. I have not seen a similar one in the port before or since.

"ERIK" - IMO 7508180
Completed in 1975 by Skala Skipasmidja, Skali, Faroe Islands (26)
414 g.t., as:
'Christian i Grotinum' to 1999, and
'Erik' until sold to Turkey for demolition.
Arrived at Aliaga on 30/04/2008.
The ship went aground on the Moroccan coast in early 1999 resulting in serious damage.
Vessel was salved, sold to an Argentinian man (or company) in London but had connections with Cuba and brought to Las Palmas.
She was renamed ''Erik'' and a small Cuban repair crew was put aboard - several years ago now , maybe 2001/2.
The Cubans began slowly repairing machinery and hydraulics but soon the money ran out and the ship was abandoned. She laid idle for more years until the Port Authority gained ownership of her through the local Courts in order to recoup harbour fees and costs. Eventually she was sold to Turkish shipbreakers.

Unknown Ukrainian/Russian fishing vessel.
The Moon first thing this morning against clear blue skies!
Taken with a Tamron SP 500mm mirror with 2x teleconverter so not the sharpest.
First came an Olympus 35 RC, with which I haven't shot much.
Then came an Olympus XA, which went everywhere with me. Until it took a brief flight to some hard concrete floor and the rangefinder focusing stopped working.
Then came this, an Olympus OM-1 MD and a 50mm OM-System F-Zuiko f/1.8 lens. Got this from John Titterington, who seems to be a person of some very good repute. The camera is very clean and nice, and should last a long time. But John's done a curtain replacement surgery among other service work, so shutter release is not exactly the legendary OM-system silent.
Later a G-Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 lens was added. But I haven't been shooting much. Much busy came, and obsessive photography of earlier days was kind of forgotten. I'm looking for a 24mm f/2.8 and a 55mm f/1.2 lens though.
Please do let me know if you happen to know someone that's likely to offload their "obsolete" Olympus/Pentax film gear.
While not as glamourous as the first-class staterooms which few of us would want to shell out the cash for, this does look cozy and comfortable. Keep in mind that individual restrooms and baths were unheard of in even the most luxurious liners (which White Star Liners were) of the era; indeed, such are a very recent invention when it comes to oceanfaring journeys!
This eastbound stack, about to cross 3rd St in Riverside, has a third-unit EMD, very rare for BNSF, which almost always is all-GE.
"7 Days of Shooting" "Week #6" "If Only" "Focus Friday" I've never used a tripod with my camera. If only I could still walk
today without mobility aids!
This is actually one of a pair of Leki trekking poles I bought in Glacier National Park years ago to use hiking. I have used just
one also as a cane! 9-)

Bristol Omnibus Co's no. C7290, a Gardner-engined Bristol FLF Lodekka, spent less than three years with its original owner. It had been put into service from Staple Hill depot on 16th December 1966. On 2nd November 1969 it was delivered to the Wakefield depot of West Riding Autos, one of a number of buses transferred from other National Bus Company subsidiaries to replace West Riding's disastrous fleet of Guy Wulfrunians. In this way, to my subsequent chagrin, Bristol Omnibus Co. lost all the Gardner-engined FLFs from its Bristol Joint Services fleet.
In 1978 the newer ex-BOC Lodekkas remaining with West Riding were transferred to the Lincolnshire Road Car Co. Six months after transfer to Lincolnshire, a "green" company, the former C7290 was still running in West Riding's poppy red. Nor had the company yet fitted a local destination blind. It was photographed in Oswald Road, Scunthorpe, on Monday 9th October 1978. Note the masking of the grilles on either side of the destination box ...yet another attempt to improve the Cave-Brown-Cave heating-ventilation-cooling system.
It's 1970,it's Grove Park station,and what I think is a 4EPB unit (looks to be 5044) passing as part of a formation.
CSAO BU-20 coasts into Florence, NJ on their way to International Paper with 15 loads led by NS 5278 & 3013. It took three tries, but I finally got a decent sized train across the field here..
Parkdale, just love this place. Most beautiful part is that I don't go 3 minutes without someone saying Hi.

Earlier this year I was taking pictures of my mom’s kilt pins and a book of the clans of Scotland but couldn’t find the third one. Well it was in with the brass buttons, silly thing it’s not brass at all. …. Alternate possibility for #CrazyTuesday
