View ruined by a Red Bus

The other day I gave you a capture of Cottages all in a Row, and said that the main problem is there was nowhere to park your car, perhaps they use bicycles. Yoland suggested that perhaps they use a bus.

Now in this capture I'm standing at 90 degrees to those cottages in my capture, which is off to my right. You will notice a red double decker bus on the right, which has just gone down a very steep hill.

These buses actually go through my small village of Middleyard, at least every hour in both directions. They look so big and completely out of place in our rural settings. They are the biggest vehicles to go through the narrow roads in my village and are a nightmare if you meet one head on.

As you can see a red bus looks out of place in these settings, well in fact not long ago they were green and blended well. So to suggest that the cottage owners might catch a bus could be true, I was standing right by the bus stop. Click on the picture to get the full view.

Keep smiling.
Wow, amazing scenery. I do love the red double decker busses when I’m in London, but they do look a little large and out of place going through your quaint village. Lovely capture.

Well I like the red bus Heather! A traditional British sight I think & one day you might be glad of that bus when you no longer want to drive!

Well, i don't really mind the bus in this one. The landscape is terrific. And the bus just anchors it to present times.

Beautiful landscape, and I agree that the big red bus is out of place in this gorgeous old village setting
