I feel like uploading to be honest. I have had this shot for the best part of 4 years and I think it finally deserves the light of day.
At the time this was a rather shiny repaint which looked pretty excellent. It did though only last in the coat 2 and a bit years as it bowed out mid 2021 due to less activity after the pandemic.
So, here we see Lothian buses 308 doing service 44 duties to Wallyford while on Princes Street.
Oh my, this one is cringey...
But quite possibly the most fond memory of all.
Anyway, this one dates back to... *checks date* 2013?! I was 11 then. Woah.
Anywho, this is from ye' ol' long retired LEGO.com Lord of the Rings Gallery. Pip's People was a little comic series thing I did about Pip interviewing various Middle-Earth characters and getting hurt %75 of the time. :P
It ran for three seasons of ten episodes on the LotR gallery and was continued later on the LEGO.com General Gallery.
Ya' know, a comedy thing would be kinda' neat here... I'll have to think about trying that sometime.
The legendary Dagupan Bus Co 510 Mitsubishi bus heading for Dagupan. Movie from Dolphy's Bugoy Goes To Congress.
as I prep for another journey, I fondly remember last years Death Valley trip. Looking forward to the new journey !
Do check it out in large format....
Actually, I have no idea what I photographed here some years ago somewhere in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It reminds me a bit of foam on a water surface in an artistic pattern reflecting the blue sky, but I'm really not sure about it.
Straight from the camera almost in this way.

This week we are going back seventeen years to 2008, and to RV 621 on Frederick Street North with a service on route 40C from Finglas.
Route 40C started running between the city centre and Finglas in 1973. Its terminus was in Finglas South on Ratoath Road, and it may have been the first bus route in Dublin to use the C suffix. The route ceased to operate in 1995 when route 40 went over to CitySwift, but had returned by 2000, this time running between the city centre and Finglas Place. In 2003 it was extended north to St. Margaret's Road. The route ceased to operate in 2009, when it and route 40B were replaced by new route 240. This was part of the network rationalisation to reduce costs. However, teh route number unofficially lived on and was used on short workings on route 40 which terminated in city centre and did not complete the full journey.
RV 621 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999. It was withdrawn towards the end of 2012, and subsequently disposed of.

A throwback to 2014 when color was everywhere on the Eastern railroads, especially Norfolk Southern. Train 197 is seen racing south at Sale Creek, TN on the CNO&TP. Consist included the CN C40-8W, CN ES44DC, NS SD40-2, ex-HLCX SD40-2, and GP50 #7073.
Back in late 2016, when I first began to learn how to get the most out of a camera, I discovered the magic of Neutral Density filters and Long Exposure Photography. At that time for me I swear I never captured an image where the exposure was less than 5 seconds. Streaky, cloud dragged skies and water that was either surreally smooth or ghost like mist, I was obsessed.
Since then, as my tastes have changed in what I like to shoot, I’ve begun to use filters less and less. To the point where now, it’s unusual for me to use anything other than a Circular Polariser when I shoot water.
But from time to time conditions present themselves where I default back to my original instincts and reach for the filters. Consider this my “throwback”…
Circa early 2009. Follower of Argentaros and another of the seven mysterious Quntaino, the beings hatched from the keystone eggs on Terra Nui.
Another fairly old throwback MOC, Snimurai here does have a pretty straightforward build using the Inika frame, but I think the Karzahni parts were used to good effect.
This week we are going back thirty-six years to 1990 and to KD 28 parked on Eden Quay, dressed for route 7.
The current route 7 can be traced back to 1979 when it started operating between the city centre and Ballybrack. In 1988 it was extended to Loughlinstown Park. Certain departures started serving Cherrywood in 2004, but in 2016 these services retained the route 7 number, while the Loughlinstown Park services became route 7A.
KD 28 was new to CIE in 1981. By 1996 it had been withdrawn by Dublin Bus. In 1993 it was involved in an accident that saw it lose its roof. It was repaired using the upper deck of KD 84.
The bus is in an all-over ad for CAN / Commuter Advertising Network. This is the CIE agency responsible for advertising on buses (and elsewhere). It is still around today, although they currently partner with Global Media who place the actual ads on the buses and other places.

Circa late 2008. Jungle cat Rahi that live solitary lives hunting in the Punt Nui forests.
That color distribution leaves a lot to be desired, but overall I think this stands up decently well for Rahi I made back in the day.
