Street photos and occasional bad poetry.

It's not yellow paint. It's yellow paint.

The yellow in this is actually fading sunlight. I turned the car around to get this.

Yep, that's yellow paint... I need to go back and reshoot this one. It's unacceptably blurry.

There is a storage yard/warehouse complex about a mile north of where i live that contains an ancient city bus that i swear was once in service in knoxville. in the early 80s i rode the bus a lot and recognized the make right off. i should go snap a few pics of it. you've inspired me with your bus picture.

The bus looks a little like how I feel after a massive night out. Love the sunlight on the shed - soothing

I think this is a picture of me taken at 3am early last sunday morning, except the light makes this bus look golden

Yes, the bus one looks good. If it had been just in the middle of a scrapyard somewhere it wouldn’t have been special, but there’s something about finding such relics in locations like that that makes them more interesting.

I used to like wandering around taking photos of the remains of now decaying industrial sites, some overgrown for a century or more – old railways or mines; places like that. Once nature has reclaimed them they acquire an almost romantic appeal.

Winter feels gross. *hugs* Like your Pics though. They make me feel good. :)

There are one or two 60s buses here, Mary, but that one must be from the late 40early 50s. I want to see that bus :-)

It's on private property, Kate, but I have this telephoto lens...

Thanks, S-D!

It was getting softer by the minute, Lerm. I'm glad I caught it.

Now, F-B, you are golden.

I don't know why it was segregated, Simon, unless they thought they might need a whole section for buses. It really is all by itself there.

Thanks, SS_S. Hugs back.

I so love the bus. I'm taking my camera to work tomorrow to shoot one there. Not this cool, but it's worth a shot or two. The plexi profile is perfect. xo

Doug said...

I'll look forward to it, Barb. And thanks :-)

I was almost forty when I got my first PC, but that was a long time ago. I consider myself to be computer literate and web savvy. I have written more poetry and prose since October 05 than in all my life before then. That does not make me a writer, unfortunately.
