Well half an hour to go for the “chase”, 11 05pm should see the ISS and space shuttle very close together if not docked already. this for me will be the climax of the weekend. I did see both craft last night, twice, and all the pictures I took aint half as good as what I had the other day, so tonight I am going to sit outside and just enjoy the spectacle.

As for this shot, this is my evening 145 bus from Dublin Bus, heading back to Bray, this photo was taken at Shankill, and this poor girl was the only other person upstairs on the bus. She was at the front, I was right at the back, and there it is the other 145 in front of us, I really do feel that buses are scared on the roads on their own.

This is starting to sound like a broken record but sorry for the lack of images the past few days, but I have been busy attempting to get a new page design in order.

Anyhow here is my favourite mode of transport (sarcastic) the 145 bus. I spend roughly 12 and a half hours a week on this yolk. This is one of the many buttons to stop the bus when that stop of yours is approaching, also in this picture is, and I cant believe this, another 145. I find this fascinating since there is meant to be a 20 min gap between them.

Well I was on the bus sitting where I normally sit, upstairs at the front and I was looking at the mirror which is used for the bus driver to view the goings on upstairs and I thought it would make an apt picture since big brother starts again tonight.

So begins another 13 weeks or so of reality tv, fortunately I have Rebecca to keep me more amused then looking at egotistical losers in confinement, but I am sure I will be watching anyhow.

Well today we in Ireland had a typical Feburary day of grey skies and rain, making photography outdoors difficult, but on the way home a break in the rain came my way, so I decided to try to take a photo showing the reflections of headlights on the road.

Of course standing near Saint Stephens Green you do get a lot of buses passing and even weirder is that today I commented on a similar picture on caitriona.net.

Caitriona I promise this was an unintentional shot, but like I said in my comment they make for great photographs but lousy infrequent transport.

This does not happen a lot so I took full advantage of it. This is the upstairs of a Dublin Bus, the 145 to be exact on my way home from work. It takes me about 1 hour 20 mins to get home and since I live so far out the bus is normally quite quiet, but to find no one upstairs with me is weird. Anyhow even if people dont like this shot Im glad to have captured it.

A person gets of the bus quickly or else my shutter speed was too slow, I cant remember.
