Podworld - Exploring interesting places

Red Bus , a photo by Simonhul on Flickr. Here it is in all its magnificence, the London Routemaster bus. There are just a handful left running and this one was captured early in 2012 running between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square near the Criterion hotel and theatre. I don't normally manipulate images but I played with this one to highlight the bus. I am quite happy with the result. The Routemaster design dates back to the 1950s and is an engineering marvel. Buses of today are unlikely to capture our imaginations in 60 years time.

A classic London view and still available, just, in New Year... on Twitpic Take a look at this classic London view on twitter which looks as though it was taken 20 years ago but was in fact taken in the closing days of 2011.
