D is for Double Decker

I'm not sure if you only get double deckers in Britain but for me, the red London bus is as much a national icon as say, Big Ben. Really wanted to get a shot of an old Routemaster so headed down to Trafalgar Square (again) and just laid in wait like a hunter stalking a prey. Mind you, if hunting was this easy we'd never go to the supermarket again! Love the fact it's advertising free and just wish i'd been on the other side to get the rear open entrance.
This is good. I've seen them in Victoria Canada and I think one of the touring companies in Seattle might have one. I just don't remember where I saw the last one but they are not normal here. I like the bright color and the picture is a good street scene.

We get double deckers in Dubai too but not in this old style. They're in Singapore too.
