Routemaster by andycoleborn

Routemaster

Flippin ache after just a one hour gym session last night, so thought I'd give it a miss tonight and instead jumped on the train to St Paul's and took some shots..

I was surprised to see the protest camp still there, as it's all gone quiet in the press about them..

I wasn't exactly sure what to take but as luck would have it, this old style routemaster came along and kindly stopped at a zebra crossing...

Off to celebrate pancake day now in the only acceptable way... with a drizzle of lemon juice :-)...
Great capture Andy. Fav

Beautiful!

Well you've got to pace yourself with the gym! Nice to see an old Routemaster.
February 21st, 2012  
Great timing for you to get 'the' shot! Enjoy your pancakes, sugar for me ;)
February 21st, 2012  
Bottoms! I completely forgot it was pancake day! Nice bus at zebra crossing shot - you have the edge with your retro Routemaster - have you seen the new ones in the offing?
February 21st, 2012  
Very nice. Did you get more photos of the Occupiers? Would love to see those. I imagine the press believes if they stop writing about them they will go away. I don't think so.

Fantastic processing, I saw this/ a similar old bus in London last week, and couldn't get a good shot of it. You have nailed it though. How did you process it?
